THE long arm of Autoglass will go into action alongside police in a bid to reduce the number of cars stolen from Redditch and Bromsgrove.

The company has teamed up with police to offer free security etching on the windows of cars and other vehicles at Sainsbury's car park from 10am on Friday.

He added some older cars, such as metros, escorts, astras, cavaliers and Rover 200s, were easier to break into so it was important these had their windows etched.
