On this page
Kirkby is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley, Merseyside, located approximately 6 miles north-east of Liverpool city centre. The L32 and L33 postcode areas cover Kirkby town centre, Northwood, Southdene, and surrounding neighbourhoods. Kirkby’s position near the M57 motorway and its direct rail link to Liverpool make it accessible to vehicle thieves operating across Merseyside. LockCar brings professional relay immobiliser installation to Kirkby and all surrounding areas via a fully mobile fitting service.
Vehicle theft across Kirkby
Kirkby has a significant residential population and a growing commercial sector, including the Kirkby Industrial Estate. Vehicle theft across the L32 and L33 postcodes includes both residential driveway attacks and commercial vehicle theft from business premises. Keyless-entry cars are targeted by relay gangs, while vans belonging to tradespeople and delivery services are stolen for both the vehicle and the tools inside.
The M57 motorway provides quick access from Kirkby to Liverpool, St Helens, and the wider Merseyside network. Organised vehicle theft rings use this connectivity to move stolen vehicles rapidly, often targeting multiple postcodes in a single night. Residential areas in Northwood and Southdene have reported incidents of relay attacks, with premium SUVs and executive cars being the primary targets.
Kirkby’s retail areas — including the Kirkby Shopping Centre and surrounding car parks — present additional risk for vehicles left during shopping hours or evening periods. The LockCar immobiliser range provides effective protection for both personal cars and commercial vehicles operating across Kirkby and the wider Knowsley area.
Merseyside Police urge drivers of keyless-entry vehicles across Kirkby 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 Kirkby — the specifics
Kirkby’s location on the M57 corridor provides vehicle thieves with rapid access to Liverpool, St Helens, and the M62. A gang operating in Kirkby can be in Huyton, Prescot, or Whiston within minutes. This mobility means that the risk is not limited to specific postcodes — any address in Kirkby or its surrounding areas is within range.
Residential relay attacks in Kirkby 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. If you have recently purchased a new keyless-entry vehicle and park it on your Kirkby driveway, the risk window is highest in the first month.

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. A relay amplifier cannot replicate this signal — the two systems are fundamentally different in their vulnerability profile.
What is the LFM Fleet Platform for Kirkby 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 Kirkby fleet. Contact us for fleet pricing for five or more vehicles.
