Four men have been arrested in connection with the break-ins of more than 20 lorries at Cambridge services overnight.

They remain in custody while investigations are ongoing.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary said: "Our patrols across service stations will continue as we know that lorry thieves are often part of organised criminal gangs."

The force also issued the following advice to lorry drivers:

  •  Keep your vehicle and cab securely locked at all times.
  • Remove keys whenever the vehicle is left unattended.
  • Park in designated car parks or services.
  • Try to park in a way that prevents access to the rear doors.
  • Consider parking with loading doors close to another vehicle or wall.
  • When returning to an unattended vehicle, always check signs for tampering.
  • If you realise a theft is taking place, don’t leave the safety of your vehicle.
  • Lock the doors, start the engine, switch on the lights and if necessary sound the horn to attract attention.
  • Avoid talking about the loads and routes with other drivers or customers.
  • Protect documents such as shipping orders and consignment notes.
  • In an emergency or if you spot any criminal or suspicious behaviour, contact police on 999.
