Newcastle upon Tyne, the regional capital of North East England, spans the extensive NE1 to NE99 postcode districts. The city centre (NE1) is surrounded by residential suburbs including Jesmond (NE2), Gosforth (NE3), Ponteland (NE20), and Tynemouth (NE30). The city’s position at the junction of the A1(M), A19, and A69 corridors makes it a strategic target for organised vehicle theft. LockCar provides mobile fitting of advanced relay immobilisers and GPS trackers to all Newcastle postcodes and surrounding Tyne and Wear areas.
Vehicle theft across Newcastle
Newcastle has seen a significant increase in keyless vehicle theft, particularly in affluent suburbs like Jesmond (NE2), Gosforth (NE3), and Ponteland (NE20). Thieves target premium SUVs and executive cars parked on driveways. The A1(M) provides quick escape routes towards Scotland or the South, while the Port of Tyne offers potential for export.
Commercial vehicle theft is also a concern across Newcastle’s industrial estates in Byker (NE6), Walker (NE6), and Team Valley (NE11). Vans containing tools and equipment are frequently targeted. The LockCar immobiliser range provides an effective physical barrier.
Coastal areas like Tynemouth (NE30) and Whitley Bay (NE26) also see vehicle crime. A professionally fitted GPS tracker ensures location can be immediately relayed to Northumbria Police.
Northumbria Police urge drivers of keyless-entry vehicles across Newcastle 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 Newcastle — the specifics
Newcastle’s position on the A1(M) corridor, with direct access to the A19 and A69, makes it a prime target for vehicle thieves operating across the North East. 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.
