Following a recent rise in the number of Ford Fiesta car’s being stolen in Tameside and surrounding areas, we are asking our communities to be extra vigilant and consider additional security and deterrents.

Crook locks, double checking your car is locked before leaving it, and no valuables left on show. Also consider a faraday-type bag, which acts as a signal blocker preventing thieves from accessing keys remotely.
