Please be aware that between 2100hrs on Friday 11 April and 0600hrs on Saturday 12 April 2025 offender/s have stolen a green Land Rover Defender from a property at Waverley Road, Kenilworth.

The vehicle was stolen without keys indicating that the offender(s) used a keyless interception device to gain access to the vehicle, start it and steal it.

This is the third event within a month of vehicles being targeted by thieves in Kenilworth using keyless entry interception devices. The first attempt at Priorsfield Road, failed because the vehicle owner used a Faraday Box to prevent the interception of the keyless signal from the vehicle keys. The second event and now this one led to the theft of the vehicles concerned.

This is incident 0078 of 11 April 2025
