MOTORISTS are being urged to be vigilant after a spate of car airbag thefts in the Redcar and Cleveland area.
Four vehicles in the area have been broken into and had their airbags stolen in the past two days.
In some but not all of the cases, other items including tools and a bike were stolen, while airbags were stolen from all four of the vans.
In the majority of the cases a window was smashed to gain access.
A Cleveland Police spokesman said: "We’d ask vehicle owners to be aware of this and where possible to park securely in a locked garage or behind closed or locked gates if you have a driveway."
If anyone has information or believes their domestic CCTV has captured the person or people responsible, contact Cleveland Police on the 101 number.
