Between 0200 - 0220 hours on Saturday 18/1/2025 an unknown male person was seen to gain entry to a Mercedes car by unknown means in Heaney Park Rushden, with the likely intention of stealing property from within the car. No damage was caused in gaining entry to the car, therefore it is very likely that the Relay Amplification method was used in order to boost the signal from the victim's Remote Control keys in their house.

This again highlights the importance of keeping your remote control keys safe in a Faraday Box, which will block any attempt to amplify the signal from your car keys.

Should you have any information that may assist our enquiries into this crime, please call us on 101 quoting the Crime Ref. No. 25000034238

Many thanks,
