POLICE in Hyndburn gave away free de-icer as part of ‘Operation Frost’.
Officers took to social media to warn motorists about leaving their vehicles unattended while defrosting.
A spokesman said: “Car thieves are also about when Jack Frost is and will take the opportunity to steal your car.
“Remember to defrost your car using a scraper or de-icer and stay with your vehicle.”
The force gave free de-icer to the first ten Facebook users to ‘like’ or ‘share’ their words of warning online.
