She said she was reassured by signs telling drivers the area was covered by CCTV - but on returning to Leasowe at around 5pm she found her silver Suzuki Baleno looking a “complete and utter mess”.
She said: “My car was at an angle up on jacks. All the alloy wheels, which were worth about £600, had been taken and a screwdriver had been jammed into the driver’s side and the lock was destroyed.
“The CD player had also been ripped out, CDs stolen and the thieves had rummaged through the boot to get the spare tyre out.”

So be careful when parking at Leasowe Train Station Park & Ride. If at all possible, make sure you park in an area of the car park that is deffo under CCTV and within view (ie. not hidden away in the corners).
I think the BTP need to do something about this.
