A stolen vehicle has been found and recovered in Blaina, and Gwent Police says work is ongoing to track down whoever was behind the theft.

The recovery

The Blaenau Gwent Neighbourhood team was sent out after someone raised concerns about a suspicious vehicle in the Blaina area. Quick enquiries by officers led them to the vehicle, which was then recovered.

Investigation continuing

The force has confirmed that its investigation remains open as officers try to identify those responsible.

Keeping your vehicle secure

Alongside the update, officers shared some practical advice for drivers worried about vehicle theft:

  • Keep your keys well away from doors and windows so their signal can’t be picked up from outside
  • Think about fitting a steering wheel lock or other physical security
  • Make sure any built-in security features on your vehicle are switched on
  • Consider having a tracker fitted
