Car jacking warning

Please be aware of a car-jacking scam which has been brought to our attention. Incidents have been reported in neighbouring police forces where people have returned to their vehicle after shopping or work and got in to drive away and on looking in their rear-view mirror to back out of the parking space have noticed a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. 

People have then unlocked their vehicle door and got out of the car to remove the paper that is obstructing the view.  When they have reached the back of the vehicle, car-jackers appear out of nowhere, get into your vehicle and take off.

Please be aware of this and the advice to drive away and remove the paper from your window in a safe well-lit environment later on.
