Richmond upon Thames, an affluent South West London borough, spans postcode districts including TW1 (Twickenham), TW2 (Twickenham, Whitton), TW9 (Kew, Richmond), TW10 (Richmond, Ham), SW13 (Barnes), SW14 (Mortlake, East Sheen), and SW15 (Putney, Roehampton). The borough’s position near the A3, A316, and M3 corridors makes it a strategic target for organised vehicle theft. LockCar provides mobile fitting of advanced relay immobilisers and GPS trackers across all Richmond postcodes.
Vehicle theft across Richmond
Richmond upon Thames has seen a significant increase in keyless vehicle theft, particularly in affluent areas like Richmond (TW9-10), Barnes (SW13), and East Sheen (SW14). Thieves target premium SUVs and executive cars parked on driveways. The A316 and M3 provide quick escape routes towards Surrey and the M25.
Commercial vehicle theft is also a concern, especially around industrial estates in Mortlake (SW14) and Twickenham (TW1-2). Vans containing tools and equipment are frequently targeted. The LockCar immobiliser range provides an effective physical barrier.
Areas near Richmond Park and the River Thames see higher volumes of vehicle crime. A professionally fitted GPS tracker ensures location can be immediately relayed to the Metropolitan Police.
The Metropolitan Police urge drivers of keyless-entry vehicles across Richmond upon Thames to use a Faraday pouch for key fobs at home AND install a physical relay immobiliser. The pouch blocks the signal when the key is stationary; the immobiliser protects you when you are away from the vehicle with the key. Both layers are essential.
Relay attacks in Richmond — the specifics
Richmond’s position in South West London with direct access to the A316 and M3 makes it a prime target for vehicle thieves. A relay attack can be carried out in under two minutes. One criminal stands near the house with an amplifier to capture the key fob’s signal, while another stands by the car with a transmitter to rebroadcast it.
Residential relay attacks typically occur between 10pm and 4am, with criminals working in pairs. Properties with keyless-entry vehicles parked on driveways or streets visible from the road are at highest risk.

Yes. We can install at your home, workplace, or any secure parking area. For commercial fleet installations, we offer discounted multi-vehicle rates.
How does LockCar’s immobiliser differ from the 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.
