At least two cars were broken into after being abandoned on Bradwell Moor, as conditions became increasingly treacherous due to heavy snowfall.

A spokesperson for the Bakewell and Hathersage Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “From time to time motorists may have to leave vehicles in the highway or lay-by due to weather conditions, mechanical breakdown or road traffic accident.
