Romford, the principal town of the London Borough of Havering, spans the RM1 to RM7 postcode districts. The town centre (RM1) is surrounded by residential suburbs including Gidea Park (RM2), Collier Row (RM5), Harold Hill (RM3), Hornchurch (RM11-12), and Upminster (RM14). Romford’s position at the junction of the A12, A127, and M25 (Junction 28) makes it a strategic target for organised vehicle theft rings operating across East London and Essex. LockCar provides mobile fitting of advanced relay immobilisers and GPS trackers to all Romford postcodes and surrounding Havering areas.
Vehicle theft across Romford
Romford has seen a significant increase in keyless vehicle theft, particularly in residential areas with off-street driveway parking. Suburbs like Gidea Park (RM2), Emerson Park (RM11), and Upminster (RM14) have experienced relay attacks targeting premium SUVs and executive cars. Thieves exploit the M25’s connectivity, moving stolen vehicles quickly towards Essex ports or into East London.
Commercial vehicle theft is also a concern in Romford, especially around industrial estates in South Street (RM1) and Brooklands (RM10). 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.
Areas near the Liberty Shopping Centre and Romford Station see high volumes of vehicle crime, including theft of older models without factory immobilisers. A professionally fitted GPS tracker ensures that even if a vehicle is taken, its location can be immediately relayed to the owner and Metropolitan Police.
Metropolitan Police and Essex Police urge drivers of keyless-entry vehicles across Romford and Havering 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 Romford — the specifics
Romford’s position at Junction 28 of the M25, with direct access to the A12 and A127 corridors, makes it highly accessible to criminals based across London and Essex. 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 Romford town centre (RM1) and Collier Row (RM5), are particularly vulnerable. Organised crime groups often target multiple vehicles across different Romford postcodes in a single night, using the M25 to disappear quickly.

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 Romford 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 Romford fleet. Contact us for fleet pricing for five or more vehicles.
