flag Car tyre thefts in Cumbria rose 50% in the past year, according to Blackcircles, which analyzed official crime data. flag Though totals remain low—four thefts in 2023, six in 2024—the increase ranks among the highest in the UK, especially in rural areas where such crimes were once rare. flag Other regions saw sharper rises, including Dyfed-Powys (300%), Staffordshire (138%), and Surrey (100%). flag Experts warn the trend may signal growing coordination among thieves. flag To reduce risk, drivers are advised to park in well-lit, busy areas, use motion-sensor lights or cameras, turn wheels toward the curb, and report suspicious activity.
