A number of vehicles have been targeted by thieves operating in Formby and Ainsdale.
They gained entry to the cars before stealing items from them. Two incidents were reported at car parks in Victoria Road and Southport Old Road as well as Quinton Close in Ainsdale.
A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “When parking be aware of your surroundings.
“Check if anyone is loitering in the car park watching as people
park their cars? Try and park where there is plenty of light – thieves prefer to target cars parked in dark places. Take valu- ables with you when you leave the car and leave nothing on view.”
The police are continuing a high visibility police presence in what they consider to be ‘hot- spot’ areas and encourage all residents to report anything sus- picious to Merseyside Police via 101.
