Cars have been targeted at the busy shopping centre in recent months
Police have issued an update on their new operation to tackle car thefts at the Trafford Centre. The public were issued a warning last month following a spate of vehicle thefts from the busy shopping centre, with Range Rovers and Ford Fiestas among the cars targeted.
Greater Manchester Police vowed to increase patrols as part of 'Operation Lexford', working with the Trafford Centre to clamp down on thieves who had been using signal jamming and scanning devices to steal people's cars.
“We understand that cars are of great value to people and we understand that having a car stolen can have a huge impact both financially and emotionally."
Police have issued advice on a number of ways the threat of vehicle thefts can be minimised, including double checking doors are locked, hiding valuables or investing in a steering wheel lock or tracking device. Drivers can also buy a faraday bag which are lined with metal material to block the key's signal.
