Gardaí issue warning to motorists who leave engine running on cold mornings

Gardai have taken to their official Twitter account to issue a warning to motorists.

The recent freeze has prompted motorists to leave their car running before the morning commute, a habit car thieves have clued into.

The easy targets have resulted in a number of reported car thefts in recent weeks, particularly in Dublin, Kildare and Meath.

Given that cars stolen in this manner are unlocked, Gardai warn that the unfortunate owners may not be covered by insurance.

So lads, the next time a frosty morning comes around, use a trusty ice scraper!
