FORD FIESTAS TARGETED

Ford Fiestas particularly STs are being targeted for theft in Flintshire.

They are being targeted nationally and there have been incidents within Flintshire North. 

This is due to advances in the tactics used by thieves and due to changes in their production.

We can’t reveal sensitive intelligence regarding the theft strategy in case we give people ideas, however we are urging owners to utilise a Steering Wheel Lock and faraday boxes for their keys. If you have a tracker ensure it is activated and operational.

We noted a similar trend with Navara’s and issued a similar message, we also stopped a number of Navara’s in the area.

If you are a fiesta owner, you may be temporarily inconvenienced by a police stop this is so we can ensure vehicles are not stolen.
