Birmingham is in the heart of West Midlands, within the West Midlands region. The B1–B45 postcode area covers Birmingham and its surrounding neighbourhoods. Birmingham’s position along M6 motorway and A38 makes it accessible to vehicle thieves operating across West Midlands. LockCar brings professional Land Rover relay immobiliser installation to Birmingham and all surrounding areas via a fully mobile fitting service.
Land Rover theft across Birmingham
Birmingham is the UK’s second city and one of the country’s highest-risk areas for vehicle crime. The West Midlands topped the UK in 2024 with 5,413 stolen vehicles — 22% of all seized cars in the region. CAN-bus and relay attacks on Ford, BMW, Land Rover, Toyota and Jaguar models are rising sharply. 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.
Birmingham’s access to M6 motorway 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 City Centre, Erdington, Yardley 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.
West Midlands Police urge Land Rover owners across Birmingham to use signal-blocking key pouches at home AND a physical relay immobiliser. The pouch protects when the key is stationary; the immobiliser protects when you have your key on you but are briefly away from the vehicle. Both layers are needed.
Relay attacks in Birmingham — the specifics
Birmingham’s position within the West Midlands network, with direct access to M6 motorway and A38, places it firmly within range of organised vehicle theft gangs. Criminals operating across West Midlands can reach Birmingham, 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 Birmingham typically target Land Rover, BMW, Toyota and Ford 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.

How does LockCar’s immobiliser differ from the Land Rover factory-fitted one?
Factory-fitted immobilisers communicate with the key fob via radio signal — they can be defeated by relay amplification. LockCar adds a physical relay break in the start circuit that requires a separate, encrypted authentication (proximity tag, Wi-Fi signal, or app) to close. A relay amplifier cannot replicate this signal — the two systems are fundamentally different in their vulnerability profile.
Does LockCar offer fleet protection for Birmingham businesses?
Yes. The LockCar Fleet Monitoring Platform (LFM) is a web-based dashboard for businesses managing multiple vehicles in Birmingham. It centralises location, immobilisation status, camera feeds and trip history for every LockCar-equipped vehicle. Contact us for fleet pricing for five or more vehicles.
