POLICE are warning residents of a rise in thefts from vehicles in the Dukinfield area.
Greater Manchester Police’s Tameside team are also asking for the public’s help to combat the criminal activity, which can also include attempting to gain access to a vehicle.
They say some people may have information, CCTV, images or screenshots of messages about individuals involved.
Police are appealing for residents to send these to officers, rather than post them on social media.
A GMP Tameside spokesperson said: “If you have any of the above, send them to your local Neighbourhood Team via tamesidenorth@gmp.police.uk as soon as possible.
“Speculation via social media will not help ongoing investigations, so please refrain from doing this.”
The force has also issued some crime prevention advice, which can be found at: https://www.gmp.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/keeping-vehicles-safe/vehicle-safe-and-sound/
