A spokesman said thieves were targeting parked cars in rural areas throughout the county.

“We have received an increase in the number of reports across West Sussex of thieves targeting vehicles parked in rural carparks and laybys to steal valuables.” he said.

“Whilst your vehicle is parked, ensure you do not have any valuables on display and leave any high-value items at home before setting off on your journey.”
