In the 12 months up to October 2021, a total of 3,590 vehicles were stolen in South Yorkshire – up 19% from the previous year, police have said.

Police said they believe thieves are cloning the signal from remote key fobs to make thefts easier.

A report to the county's police and crime commissioner has stated 13 vehicle thefts were reported each day in October and November 2021.

The figures also showed the number of Ford Transit vans stolen increased, with thieves "often using keyless entry methods to gain entry to vehicles".

Temp Supt Jamie Henderson, said: "Thieves are known to target hotel car parks, as they know many trades people working out-of-town are unlikely to decamp their tools into their hotel room overnight."

He added: "While it’s inconvenient having to remove your tools, we are aware that it does sadly increase your risk of being targeted by thieves if you do not."

The peak of coronavirus cases in most parts of York and North Yorkshire is expected to be reached this week, a medical union boss has said.

North Yorkshire GP Dr Brian McGregor chairs the British Medical Association's regional council.

Speaking on BBC Radio York he said: "In the first week of Christmas we were hitting in most of the York and North Yorkshire area about 300 or 400 cases per 100,000 - we're now up to around about 1,800 to 2,000.

"We've seen a four to five-fold increase in cases on a daily basis."

Mr McGregor added: "We're particularly seeing the unvaccinated and those who haven't had the booster going into hospital with Covid.

"It was initially the 16 to 40-year-olds, now it's the over-60s starting to get case numbers going up."

There have been more than 14 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK and more than 150,000 people have died, government figures show.

So far, 90% of people aged 12 and over in the UK have had their first vaccine dose, 83% have had their second and 62% have had a booster.

Litter louts in Lincolnshire who refused to pay a £150 fine ended up coughing up four times that amount after being called to court.

More than 1,800 people have been hit with fines in North Lincolnshire Council’s crackdown on mess so far.

People have been ordered to pay up for everything from dropping litter to dog fouling and throwing rubbish from a vehicle.

Since the scheme started in November last year, 1846 fines have been issued

Fines are reduced to £100 if paid within 28 days, however more than 130 ignored the fine and were called to Doncaster Magistrates' Court.

Some ended up being slapped with a total demand for £644 after costs and victim surcharge were added on.

Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: "Picking up other people’s rubbish costs us more than £1m a year, which is why I am determined to make the litter louts pay.

"The council has just invested in dozens of brand new bins for town centres, roads and lay-bys across the region – there is simply no excuse for dropping litter."
