We're being warned not to fall for a new car park distraction burglary, which is starting to happen across North Somerset.

Thieves watch shoppers pay at supermarkets to get their PIN number, then following them to their car and distracting them by asking for directions, while an accomplice steals credit cards or purses.

The victims have mainly been women on their own, and police are urging people to shield their PIN and ensure their car is always locked.
