Three stolen cars have been seized by Wigan police in one night.
And officers are crediting new automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology for the breakthroughs.
A social media post by GMP Wigan West said that due to recent investment in the kit, the C Relief Transport Unit seized three stolen vehicles.
One was said to have been stolen in Wigan on July 6.
But police do not rely on technology alone and ask if members of the public spot suspicious activity or vehicles, they should ring 101.
