Police warn Nissan Navara owners to be vigilant following thefts

Police are warning Nissan Navara owners in Cheshire to be vigilant following nine thefts in the past two months.

Since 1st January this year, six vehicles were stolen from Warrington, one from Chester and Crewe and two from Congleton.

While officers are investigating the thefts they are urging owners of Navara’s to take steps to secure their vehicles.

Chief Inspector Rob McLoughlin said:

“These are keyless thefts, so just making sure your doors are locked won’t keep it secure. Putting your keys further away from where the vehicle is parked, or putting the keys in a faraday pouch will prevent thieves from gaining access to your vehicle. You could also think about getting a steering wheel lock.

“If you spot any suspicious behaviour, please report it to us and if you have a doorbell camera, make sure its charged and in working order so that any suspicious behaviour is captured to help us with our enquiries into finding those responsible.”
