The police advised vehicle owners to take measures to protect their vehicles against theft.
This includes parking them in well-lit areas and not leaving their key or transponder unattended.
Vehicle owners should remove cash cards, keys and other valuables such as laptops and mobile phones before leaving their vehicle, the police said.
They should also wind up all windows and lock all doors even if they intend to leave their vehicle unattended for only a short while.
