Officers issued a warning in the country last summer following a spike in the number of thefts of catalytic converters, which contain precious metals including platinum and rhodium.

Similar thefts were reported from a business car park in Brixworth last month.

Anyone with information or who may have seen the incident should call Northamptonshire Police on 101 quoting reference number 20000073983.
