Land Rover theft across Bournville

Bournville is a well-known, leafy neighbourhood in south Birmingham originally developed around the Cadbury factory. Despite its community feel, the B30 postcode is not immune to relay theft. Organised gangs have targeted affluent streets bordering Selly Oak and the Bournville Village Trust estate. Land Rover remains one of the most stolen vehicle brands in the West Midlands and East Midlands, with 32 thefts per 1,000 registered vehicles recorded across the region. Organised relay gangs specifically target Land Rover Discovery, Defender, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models.

Bournville’s access to A441 and A38 gives organised theft rings the ability to move stolen Land Rovers out of the area rapidly. Vehicles are typically targeted between 10pm and 4am by pairs of criminals using relay amplifiers to extend the key fob signal from inside the property. Premium residential streets in Selly Oak, Kings Norton, Stirchley are at highest risk.

LockCar’s relay immobiliser range provides a physical break in the vehicle start circuit that cannot be defeated by relay amplification. Unlike the OEM factory immobiliser, LockCar’s system requires a separate encrypted authentication — a proximity tag, Wi-Fi signal or app confirmation — to allow the engine to start. This stops relay attacks entirely, regardless of how powerful the attacker’s amplifier is.

Relay attacks in Bournville — the specifics

Bournville’s position within the Birmingham South network, with direct access to A441 and A38, places it firmly within range of organised vehicle theft gangs. Criminals operating across Birmingham South can reach Bournville, conduct a relay attack, and be on a motorway within minutes of stealing a Land Rover. This speed makes traditional anti-theft measures like steering wheel locks and tracker devices insufficient on their own.

Residential relay attacks in Bournville typically target Land Rover, BMW, Toyota and Range Rover vehicles parked on driveways or in view from the street. Gangs work in pairs: one operator stands near the property with an amplifier to extend the key fob signal, while the other stands next to the vehicle with a relay receiver that mimics the key. The OEM immobiliser is bypassed in seconds.
