Officers say they have seen an increase in thefts – particularly of Land Rover Defenders – both regionally and nationally in recent weeks.
A Derbyshire police spokesperson said patrols were being increased because of the importance of these vehicles on farms and in other rural areas.

"Ensure keys are kept away from sight. Invest in keyless signal defender pouches.
"CCTV is a great way to deter criminals and allows you to keep eyes on your property. Security lights are a further deterrent – motion detecting lights are a must.
"Keep windows and doors locked and ensure your alarm systems work.”
