Blocking Vehicle Theft

Keyless car fobs are an increasing common feature of modern vehicles, allowing proximity access and push – button Ignition

Unfortunately, as the design of vehicles has modernised, so too have the methods of the thieves that target them.

Tech – savvy criminals are using signal boosting devices to amplify the proximity signal of a fob that is inside a property, while an accomplice waits next to the vehicle, ready to open the door and known as Relay Attacks / Keyless Thefts.

This method Is quick, silent, & allows the easy theft of vehicles and valuables 

The Solution

The Defender Signal Blocker’s specialist RPF material prevents a contained key fob transmitting, preventing Relay Attacks If you require one then please contact me on the following ….kenneth.walters@westmidlands.police.uk
