Keyless car theft - protect your vehicle. |

Dear Resident,
Do you own a vehicle that is keyless entry or start up? Or have a friend or family member that has. If so, please carry on reading….
Relay theft is when criminals steal a vehicle by tricking it into thinking the key is present, even though the key is still inside your home.
This often happens in seconds and is usually silent.
⚙️ How it works (simple explanation)
🚨 Why it's a major risk
🛡️ How to protect yourself
1. Block the signal (MOST effective) 👉 This stops the signal from being picked up
2. Key storage habits
3. Add physical security 👉 Even if they unlock the car, they can’t easily drive it
4. Disable keyless entry (if possible)
5. Home security helps too
✅ Quick takeaway Relay theft works by stealing your key’s signal—so block the signal and you stop the theft.
We hope this information helps.
Kind regards, Crime Prevention Team
