Six people have been arrested and 12 vehicles recovered following a string of thefts from the Trafford Centre.
Greater Manchester Police say no vehicle thefts have been reported at the shopping centre for four weeks, following the launch of Operation Lexford, which was rolled out to tackle the issue.
Officers say they are 'continually providing a visible deterrent in shopping centre car parks to stop those thinking of targeting vehicles', and their operation has 'fulfilled its aim to robustly tackle vehicle crimes in Trafford'.
