Manchester, the heart of Greater Manchester, spans a vast network of postcode districts from M1 (city centre) to M45 (Whitefield). The region includes major towns such as Salford (M3-M6, M50), Bolton (BL1-BL8), Oldham (OL1-OL9), Stockport (SK1-SK8), and Trafford (M16-M17, M32-M33). Manchester’s position at the hub of the M60, M62, M56, and M6 motorways makes it a prime target for organised vehicle theft. LockCar provides mobile fitting of advanced relay immobilisers and GPS trackers to all Greater Manchester postcodes via a fully mobile service.
Vehicle theft across Manchester
Greater Manchester has seen a significant increase in keyless vehicle theft, particularly in affluent suburbs like Hale (WA15), Bowdon (WA14), Didsbury (M20), and Prestwich (M25). Thieves target premium SUVs, performance cars, and executive vehicles parked on driveways. The M60 orbital motorway and M62 trans-Pennine route provide quick escape routes.
Commercial vehicle theft is also a major concern across Manchester’s industrial estates in Trafford Park (M17), Wythenshawe (M22), and Bury (BL9). Vans containing tools and equipment are frequently targeted. The LockCar immobiliser range provides an effective physical barrier, cutting the starter circuit independently of the factory system.
Student-heavy areas like Fallowfield (M14) and Withington (M20) see high volumes of vehicle crime. A professionally fitted GPS tracker or immobiliser ensures that even if a vehicle is taken, its location can be immediately relayed to the owner and Greater Manchester Police.
Greater Manchester Police urge drivers of keyless-entry vehicles across the region 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 Manchester — the specifics
Manchester’s extensive motorway network, including the M60, M62, M56, and M6, makes it highly accessible to criminals operating across the North West. 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.
Areas with higher-density housing where vehicles are parked close to front doors, such as the terraced streets of Levenshulme (M19), Longsight (M13), and Moss Side (M14), are particularly vulnerable. Organised crime groups often target multiple vehicles across different Manchester postcodes in a single night.

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.
What is the LFM Fleet Platform for Manchester businesses?
The LockCar Fleet Monitoring Platform (LFM) is a web-based dashboard for businesses managing multiple vehicles. It centralises location, immobilisation status, camera feeds, and trip history for every LockCar-equipped vehicle in your Manchester fleet. Contact us for fleet pricing for five or more vehicles.
