Police have warned Toyota HiLux and Nissan Navara owners after a spate of vehicle thefts across Bradford and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.
The Keighley Neighbourhood Policing Team issued the warning after thefts in Baildon and Ilkley.
PCSO Shaun Taylor said: "The number of Toyota HiLux stolen in the Baildon - Ilkley area is on the increase at the moment.
"We have increased our recovery rate and have made arrests, but please if you own a HiLux or a Navara fit either a steering wheel lock or a pedal lock, this will dramatically reduce your chances of being a victim."
Crime recorded in Ilkley over the past seven days included a Toyota HiLux theft, three shop thefts, two public order offences, stalking, a residential burglary, harassment and possession of Class A drugs.
West Yorkshire Police said vehicle thefts had also been reported elsewhere in the region.
West Yorkshire Police’s Wildlife and Rural Crime section reported that a bronze Toyota HiLux was stolen in Ilkley on August 28 and a white one was taken in Baildon overnight on August 25.
The section also reported Nissan Navara thefts in Bradford, Halton, Castleford, Rothwell, Burmantofts and Halifax over the past week.
