Stolen items include wallets, handbags, bank cards, cash, identification documents, tools, AirPods, electronic devices, an electric scooter, jewellery, and other valuables.
In several incidents, bank cards taken from vehicles were later used by offenders, which caused further inconvenience and financial loss to victims.
Police are urging residents to double-check that vehicles are locked and to avoid leaving valuables inside, even if they are hidden from view.
Officers have also said to avoid storing Christmas gifts in your vehicle overnight as your vehicle may become a target if offenders believe valuable items are inside.
