A haul of stolen car stereos has been recovered by police investigating 205 car break-ins in Cardiff over the weekend.

Officers found 37 car stereos, 21 stereo security panels and a laptop in a car in the city on Tuesday.

It follows a spate of car stereos thefts thought to be instigated after an urban myth that a chip inside could be used to decode digital TV boxes.

Police said the number of break-ins was four times the usual number.

Reports showed 95% of them were Ford models. The car firm believe this is in light of an urban myth that they can be used to decode digital TV boxes.
