Police are once again warning motorists to be vigilant and avoid leaving belongings in vehicles.

Officers initially warned people in the east Ipswich area after a pair of AirPods and a bank card were stolen when a car window was smashed in Ascot Drive on October 8. 

In September, a Suffolk inspector said an increase in thefts from cars could be linked to known prolific offenders.

Inspector Naomi Lofthouse said: “Our plea to the public and the community is that we need that basic crime prevention to be done. So please lock your vehicles at night. Please, remove your valuables because what we've got is the offenders, going around at night and simply trying door handles.

“Although the value can be quite low, it's the thought of somebody being in your personal space and and intruding, really.

“If we can eliminate those easy opportunities, then we are going to see our numbers come down.”
