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.
In an update on Monday, (February 6), police said a vehicle theft has not been reported to them for a total of three weeks following an increase in patrols at the Trafford Centre and advice given out on how to keep vehicles secure.
