Vehicle interference incident

Police in Tadcaster are urging vehicle owners to ensure they keep their vehicles secure after a recent report of an interference with a motor vehicle in the area.

Police have received a report that an unknown person(s) have gained entry to a Nissan parked on Garnet Lane, Tadcaster at some point between the 8th and 10th of December 2025.

Subsequently, police would like to issue the following advice:

Always lock your vehicle, even if you are away from it for only a short time, and keep your windows fully closed

Secure anything that is on the outside of your car or van

Do not leave valuables in your vehicle. Take mobile phones, wallets, purses or cash with you

Ensure that any electronic items, and their mountings, are hidden from view

Vans are often targeted for any tools left inside. If you have to leave them overnight, do ensure they are clearly marked or, better still, kept in a lockable box or cabinet

Try to avoid dimly lit areas. Park in busier and brighter areas if possible

Officers are appealing for any witnesses to these incidents and asking any motorists driving in the area at the time of the incident with a dash-cam fitted in their vehicle, or anyone with CCTV in the area to review the footage for any material that may be of assistance.

Anyone with information is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police and quote incident reference 1225023216.
