Police warn car owners to take extra care after spike in car thefts
A big spike in car thefts in Manawatū has police warning car owners to take extra care, especially those who own an old Mazda Demio.
While many of these vehicles are taken and later recovered almost all are recovered damaged. To prevent theft, a steering lock (a device that fits over a car steering wheel and seizes it up), is an effective and cheap option between $30 - $70.
Car-owners are also urged to think about the basics such as parking in well-lit areas and streets with high foot traffic.
