Theft from Motor Vehicles

Overnight on 4th-5th May 2025 unknown person(s) gained entry to 2 Jaguar and Range Rover Cars that were parked on a driveway in Springfield Road Rushden, stealing property from both vehicles. No damage was caused in gaining entry to the cars and it is highly 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. Usually cars accessed by this method that have keyless ignition are also then stolen. Fortunately that did not happen on this occasion.

Should you have any information that may assist our enquiries into this crime, please call us on 101 quoting the Crime Ref. No. 25000263869.
