West Bromwich sits in one of the UK’s most active theft corridors
Neighbouring Smethwick was named among the UK’s top vehicle theft hotspots in 2024, and West Bromwich sits within the same dense, motorway-connected part of the Black Country. LockCar fits hidden immobilisers across the town, at your home or workplace.
A neighbour’s numbers, a shared risk
DVLA data analysed by the RAC in 2025 placed Smethwick, which borders West Bromwich, among the UK’s top postal towns for vehicle theft in 2024, with 514 reported thefts.* There is no separately published theft count specific to West Bromwich itself, but the two towns share the same dense road network and proximity to the M5, the same conditions that make Smethwick attractive to organised theft gangs.
Across the wider region, West Midlands Police recorded 12,196 vehicle theft offences in 2025, a 15.5% fall over the past two years according to the region’s Police and Crime Commissioner.* That improvement is welcome, but it does not erase the underlying exposure that comes with sitting inside one of the country’s busiest theft corridors.

Matching the device to your car and budget
CAN-IMMO is a CAN bus, LIN bus and ADC bus PIN immobiliser controlled from a smartphone app, with an optional Bluetooth TAG for hands-free disarming. For vans and commercial vehicles, LockCar’s relay based units offer a simpler, cost-effective starting point.
Sitting next to a documented hotspot is a reason to check your own car’s exposure, not a reason to wait for local figures that may never be published separately.
