The worst Greater Manchester areas for car thefts and the motors most at risk revealed as prosecutions rise
It has plagued Greater Manchester for decades. But it appears police may finally be making progress in putting the brakes on a crime which can bring not only inconvenience, but fear, misery, and trauma.
Supt Ian Jones GMP's lead for vehicle crime, said: "There is a wide variety of car crime in Greater Manchester, and it is different in different boroughs. "Ford Fiestas are one of our most used vehicles, so parts are required. The theft of high end vehicles that is organised - that is more predominantly for cars going out of this country, where we work with other forces, forces abroad, and other agencies like NaVCIS .
"The criminals in this region do their best to overcome this using bridging devices - they have been using them since the keyless start of cars was invented. But, as the industry gets better, it makes it harder for them. "When we go through their doors we will be locking them up and seizing vehicles and parts of stolen vehicles - anyone involved in this crime, in the next month or two we will be coming to visit you - and you will be getting arrested."
