What is relay car crime and how to protect yourself

A Milton Keynes area has been named the sixth worst area for car crime in the UK.

Last year, there were 252 reports of vehicle crime in the MK14 area.

This means drivers in the Great Linford, Stantonbury, Blakelands, Giffard Park and Linford Wood are among the most at risk areas for vehicles to be targeted.

However, Leicester's LE2 postcode has claimed the top place, with 342 cars having been reported stolen in the last year. Buckinghamshire's neighbour Slough claimed second place with its SL1 postcode reporting 285 cars stolen, according to the Mirror.

Stockport SK3, Darlington DL1, Slough SL3 and Omskirk L39 postcodes also made the cut for being in the top 10.

However, the data revealed in a Freedom of Information request to the government body, the DVLA, also revealed which cars were the most likely to lay victims to thieves.

Ford Fiestas is currently the most popular choice for car bandits to steal, followed by the VW Golf, Ford Focus and the Vauxhall Corsa.
