TURNING the spotlight on crime in the Huddersfield district. The column is compiled with the co-operation of Neighbourhood Watch Liaison: * NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICING TEAM UPDATE - There have been a growing number of incidents where motorists have had car keys stolen during a house burglary to steal expensive cars parked in the driveway. West Yorkshire Police have now issued the following advice: * Many people with garages use them for storage. Clear them out and use them for the purpose for which they were built. Keep cars out of the sight of prying eyes. * Do not leave car keys in an obvious place. Take your car keys to bed with you. * Consider fitting an electric garage door. Many just cannot be bothered getting out of their cars, and unlocking the garage, especially in bad weather.
