Police in Doncaster are reminding residents to be extra careful with the security of their cars and to keep vehicle keys out of sight in the home after a slight increase in two in one burglaries over the last few weeks.

This is where the offender breaks into the house to steal car keys, which have been left unattended and on view in the home. Bawtry, Tickhill and Armthorpe seem to be the most effected areas but this is an issue across Doncaster.

Acting Detective Chief Inspector, Steve Whittaker said, "We are doing everything we can to prevent and detect these type of offences and I would urge the public to assist us by removing their car keys from view."

"Residents should treat their car keys as they would any other expensive item and not leave them lying around the house."
