Cat 5 trackers in Birmingham, GPS and relay immobiliser for the UK’s highest theft city

Birmingham recorded more stolen vehicles than any other UK city in 2024, with West Midlands Police data showing 5,413 vehicles stolen across the region. The B8, B10, B11, B18, B23, B25, and B33 postcodes are specifically among the UK’s highest-risk areas. LockCar provides GPS tracking and relay immobiliser fitting across all Birmingham B postcodes with same-day availability.

Birmingham vehicle theft, the UK’s worst city

West Midlands topped the UK vehicle theft table in 2024 with 5,413 recovered stolen vehicles representing 22% of all nationally seized cars. Birmingham is the centre of this epidemic with B postcode areas including B8 (Bordesley Green), B10 (Small Heath), B11 (Sparkbrook), B18 (Handsworth), B23 (Erdington), B25 (Yardley), and B33 (Stechford and Tile Cross) repeatedly flagged in West Midlands Police crime intelligence as primary relay attack areas.

CAN bus attacks, where criminals access the vehicle’s OBD port via headlight wiring to programme a new key, are rising at some of the fastest rates in the UK across Birmingham’s B postcodes. Organised crime groups operating from Birmingham have established networks covering the entire West Midlands and linking to export facilities in the East Midlands and at UK ports.
