A freedom of information request by Sheffield Rise has discovered which neighbourhoods in the east of Sheffield are vehicle crime hotspots.

The new information comes as South Yorkshire Police issued a warning about vehicle crime following clocks going back over the weekend.

The figures seen by Sheffield Rise cover from the start of last year until the middle of this month, and they include vehicle theft, theft from a vehicle and interference with a vehicle.

As we're heading into the colder months, we are sharing some simple tips on how you can keep your vehicles safe during the darker nights period, including parking your car in a well-lit street and using a steering wheel lock. 🚗 🔒
