Atherstone and Coleshill Safer Neighbourhood Officers still have FREE faraday pouches to give to residents with keyless entry vehicles.
If you would like one please email nws.snt@warwickshire.police.uk with your name and address.
Do you have a keyless entry vehicle?
Thieves can steal your keyless vehicle by hijacking and amplifying the signal from your start device (key) in order to start your vehicle.
Help to protect your vehicle by:
- Make sure your vehicle is properly locked/secure and keep your key away from doors and windows. This will reduce the chance of criminals amplifying the signal.
- Some keys have a function allowing them to be turned off. Check your manual to see if yours does and then use it.
- Use some kind of physical barrier such as a steering wheel lock (preferably a disk lock), instal a driving parking post or use a wheel clamp. This will deter many criminals as it will be time consuming for them to move the vehicle.
- Fit a tracking device into your vehicle.
- Keep your keys in a Faraday bag to block the signal to your keys.
- Remove batteries from your spare key or put them in a separate Faraday pouch.
-
And remember to be on the lookout for people acting suspiciously and report it by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency!
