Inspector Adrian Dack, of Hartlepool Police, said: “Remember to remove items from your car and don’t leave anything on show. Whilst these items may not be valuables, thieves will still try to break into your car for them. Also, try to ensure that your doorbell camera is on if you have one.”
It is unclear whether the recent arrest is in connection with these incidents.
Police can be contacted with any information about the belongings or car thefts by phoning 101.
