We are investigating a reported theft of a motorvehicle on the Broadwaters area of Kidderminster. A white 5-door Ford Focus Zetec, VRM FD12 XFH was stolen from the area of Unicorn Row near the Horsefair area overnight of the 11th-12th February. This vehicle has not passed any number plate recognition cameras since the theft and may still be being held by person(s) unknown locally.

If you’ve seen anything suspicious or have information that might help with enquires, please call 101.

The information we receive from the public is essential in bringing criminals to justice. 

Important advice and information:

Perpetrators often target specific vehicles, based on demand and value. If a criminal is targeting a certain vehicle, they may also be targeting the owner, looking for easy ways to exploit their security and get to their keys. 

If you think you are being followed or see any suspicious vehicles lurking, take the registration number and report it to us.

Further crime prevention methods to deter car key burglars:

  • Keep your keys somewhere safe and out of sight
  • If you can, lock your car in a garage
  • Fit a high-quality alarm to your vehicle
  • Consider additional security systems such as immobilisers and visible security locks 
  • Always take your keys with you when leaving your vehicle unattended
  • Keep your keys safe and concealed in public places
  • Make sure doors, windows, the boot and sunroof are locked and secure before leaving your car
  • If there are more than one vehicle at your property, park the lesser valued vehicle behind the more expensive one on the driveway
  • Also make sure you keep your house doors and windows locked
  • Install a high-quality burglar alarm 
  • Install an exterior security light 
  • Thank you for your help. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can prevent and detect crime. 

    Kind regards,
