Land Rover theft in Olton and Solihull
Solihull is one of the most affluent boroughs in the UK, which makes its driveways a target for gangs who steal high-value cars to order.
Olton is a quiet, low-crime area, but B92 and the neighbouring postcodes still see targeted thefts of Land Rover, Range Rover, BMW and Lexus models from residential driveways. Land Rover models are consistently among the most stolen cars in the UK, and the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery and Defender are all favourites of organised gangs.
Fast links to the M42 (junctions 4–5) and the A41 mean a stolen car can be out of the area within minutes. Most of these thefts happen between 10pm and 4am: one person picks up the signal from the key inside the house with a relay device, and a second person uses it to open and start the car on the drive.
What police advise keyless car owners
Police forces, including West Midlands Police, advise owners of keyless cars to keep their keys in a signal-blocking pouch and to add extra physical security to the car. The pouch protects the car while the key is at home. A relay immobiliser protects it when the key is with you but you are away from the car – at work, at the shops or at the gym. Together they close both gaps.
How relay attacks happen in Olton – and how we stop them
Olton sits between Solihull town centre and Birmingham, with quick access to the M42 and the A41. For an organised gang that means they can arrive, carry out a relay attack and be on the motorway within minutes. That speed is why steering locks and trackers, useful as they are, are not enough on their own: a tracker tells you where the car went, it does not stop it from leaving.
Thieves usually work in pairs. One stands near your front door with an amplifier that picks up the key’s signal; the other waits by the car with a relay box that repeats it. The car thinks the key is right next to it, unlocks and starts, and the factory immobiliser is bypassed in seconds. A LockCar immobiliser adds a second check the relay box cannot copy, so the engine stays locked.

How a relay immobiliser works
A LockCar immobiliser keeps the engine locked until you prove it is you. It adds a layer of security that relay devices cannot get around.
The relay signal is ignored
Thieves use an amplifier to stretch your key’s signal from inside the house to your Land Rover. The LockCar system does not trust that signal at all – it waits for its own encrypted handshake.
You confirm it is you
The engine is unlocked by a proximity fob, the smartphone app or the Wi-Fi indicator. Without that second check, the starting circuit stays physically cut.
The engine starts only for you
Once confirmed, the car starts as normal. When you walk away, the system re-arms by itself. There is no PIN to remember and nothing extra to press – it works quietly in the background.

Practical advice from our fitting team for Land Rover owners in Olton.
- Keep the key away from the front doorStore keys in a signal-blocking (Faraday) pouch, in a room away from outside walls. This stops relay attempts while you are at home.
- Use both layersThe immobiliser protects the car when you are out. The pouch protects it when you are in. Neither is enough on its own.
- Test the pouch every monthPouches wear out. Put the key inside, stand next to the car and check that it will not unlock.
- Book a time that suits youOur mobile technician comes to your home or workplace in Olton. Fitting takes 2–3 hours.
Land Rover immobiliser Olton – your questions answered
Do you cover all of Olton and the nearby areas?
Yes. We cover the whole of Olton and the B92 postcode, plus nearby areas including Solihull town centre, Shirley, Knowle, Dorridge and Chelmsley Wood.
Can you fit a Land Rover immobiliser at my home in Olton?
Yes. We fit at your home, at work or anywhere the car is safely parked in Olton. The technician brings everything needed, so you don’t have to take the car anywhere.
How is this different from the Land Rover factory immobiliser?
The factory immobiliser trusts the radio signal from your key, and a relay device can copy that signal. A LockCar immobiliser adds a physical cut in the starting circuit that only opens after a separate encrypted check – a proximity fob, the app or the Wi-Fi indicator. A relay device cannot fake that second check.
Do you protect business fleets in Olton?
Yes. The LockCar Fleet Monitoring platform (LFM) is a web dashboard for businesses running several vehicles. It shows location, immobiliser status, camera feeds and trip history for every LockCar-equipped vehicle in one place. Contact us for fleet prices for five or more vehicles.
How long does fitting take?
A standard Land Rover immobiliser fitting takes 2 to 3 hours. The technician fits and tests the system at your address and shows you how it works before handing the car back.
Will it work with my existing Land Rover security?
Yes. LockCar is an extra layer on top of the factory security. Your original immobiliser stays active, and LockCar adds a separate encrypted check that relay devices cannot bypass.
