Warning to Ford Fiesta owners following series of thefts in Derby

Officers are warning Ford Fiesta owners to protect their vehicles after a series of thefts across Derby in recent weeks.

More than twenty cars have been stolen from across the city – with 15 having been recovered and handed back to their owners.

The Fiestas targeted are models registered between 2013 and 2018.

Owners are advised to either use a traditional steering lock to help secure their cars – or use other vehicles to block them in.
