The scourge of the 'Corsa Cannibals' striking in Birmingham

Police are urging motorists to beware of thieves who strip cars of components in residential streets in a matter of minutes.

They are known as Corsa Cannibals because they often target Vauxhall Corsas.

There has been a spate of incidents in the same area of Birmingham recently, with four Corsas targeted in a single night.

Police advise people to think twice about buying parts from unauthorised or non-trusted dealers.
