POLICE are warning people to lock their cars after a thief got into to several cars in one area and stole personal things.

All of the cars were on Booth Street in Waterfoot, Rossendale, but no cars are believed to be stolen in the process.

A statement on Twitter read: "Last night we had several unlocked vehicles entered by a thief around the Booth Road area and small personal items taken.

"Just a plea from us to make sure your cars are all locked up before you go to bed. Don't make it easy for them."
