So far this year, three Range Rovers were stolen via keyless theft, also known as relay theft. 

Additionally, over the last two weeks alone, 14 thefts in which airbags and navigation systems were dismantled were recorded. 

Keyless theft can be done in a relatively simply manner: criminals can purchase amplifiers and transmitters, i.e. over the internet, and use them near homes to detect, amplify and later mimic a key’s signal to gain access to a vehicle.

The police advise taking certain precautions, for example leaving vehicles in a closed garage and not leaving the keys near home entrances.
