Keyless car theft devices used by criminals sell for £20k online
Criminals are using keyless car theft devices, sold online for over £20,000, to steal cars without breaking in. These gadgets enable thieves to intercept key signals remotely, allowing them to open luxury cars like Lamborghinis and Maseratis in minutes. An impending ban on such devices may not deter organized crime gangs that rent them out for vehicle thefts to order. Experts warn of a rise in relay thefts and recommend precautions like using signal-blocking pouches to prevent keyless car thefts.
