'Corsa Cartel' cops launch appeal as officers confirm seven Scots Vauxhalls targeted by bonnet thieves

Police have issued an urgent warning to drivers after a gang dubbed the 'Corsa Cartel' targeted Vauxhall motors across Scotland. Officers are probing a number of incidents involving thieves ripping the bonnets off cars in West Lothian, Edinburgh and Fife over the past few days.

It's understood that Corsas are being specifically targeted for parts during the spate of robberies and police are now appealing for information. Earlier today, we told how Jody and Greig Allan, from Cowdenbeath, were the latest to fall victim to the callous crime after they woke up to find their car in pieces outside their home on Wednesday morning.

Two Corsas were also ripped apart in the nearby village Crossgates on Tuesday night - and that followed news that two of the same style vehicles had also been damaged at Livingston South train station and another on Stenhouse Street East in Edinburgh over the weekend.
