ICE-COOL THIEVES

Police are warning motorists of the dangers of leaving their cars with the engines running while the windows defrost.

It follows the theft of four vehicles in West Sussex.

'Having started the cars they left them with the engine running while they did other things, opportunist thieves drove the cars away,' police said.

Police are advising motorists to use defrosting sprays or similar rather than leaving the vehicle with engines running, it only takes seconds for the cars to be driven away.
