A community have voiced their fears after a string of car thefts that left neighbours concerned. People living in Sneinton said they now check if they have locked their vehicles a number of times before going to sleep.
It comes after a rise in car thefts in the area. Nottinghamshire Police have encouraged motorists "to be vigilant" amid a string of crimes in Sneinton and St Ann's including car thefts and stolen number plates.
On other occasions, items such as a handbag and laptop were stolen from inside vehicles, the force confirmed. Maz Adams, of Dale Grove, said he had a similar incident in April.
