Dorset Police have issued advice to motorists in a bid to prevent thefts from vehicles.
Drivers should ensure vehicles are locked and secure and no possessions are left on display inside.
They are also advised to fit ‘tamper-proof’ screws to number plates and remove sat nav suction marks from windows.
