Police say Christmas shoppers in Exeter are still leaving expensive presents on display in their cars.. despite the usual warnings about opportunist thieves.
At this time of year, criminals do the rounds of the car parks and break into vehicles if they see valuable-looking purchases inside.
Police say shoppers shouldn't be lulled into a false sense of security by CCTV cameras - they may help catch criminals after the event, but don't always deter them.
