Land Rover theft across Shirley

Solihull is one of the UK’s most prosperous boroughs and a prime target for relay theft gangs seeking high-value vehicles. Despite having one of the lowest crime rates in the region, B93 and surrounding postcodes have seen targeted attacks on Land Rover, BMW and Lexus vehicles in affluent residential roads. Land Rover remains one of the most stolen vehicle brands in the West Midlands and East Midlands, with 32 thefts per 1,000 registered vehicles recorded across the region. Organised relay gangs specifically target Land Rover Discovery, Defender, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models.

Shirley’s access to M42 Junction 4–5 and A41 gives organised theft rings the ability to move stolen Land Rovers out of the area rapidly. Vehicles are typically targeted between 10pm and 4am by pairs of criminals using relay amplifiers to extend the key fob signal from inside the property. Premium residential streets in Shirley, Knowle, Dorridge are at highest risk.

LockCar’s relay immobiliser range provides a physical break in the vehicle start circuit that cannot be defeated by relay amplification. Unlike the OEM factory immobiliser, LockCar’s system requires a separate encrypted authentication — a proximity tag, Wi-Fi signal or app confirmation — to allow the engine to start. This stops relay attacks entirely, regardless of how powerful the attacker’s amplifier is.

Relay attacks in Shirley — the specifics

Shirley’s position within the West Midlands / Solihull network, with direct access to M42 Junction 4–5 and A41, places it firmly within range of organised vehicle theft gangs. Criminals operating across West Midlands / Solihull can reach Shirley, conduct a relay attack, and be on a motorway within minutes of stealing a Land Rover. This speed makes traditional anti-theft measures like steering wheel locks and tracker devices insufficient on their own.

Residential relay attacks in Shirley typically target Land Rover, BMW, Toyota and Land Rover vehicles parked on driveways or in view from the street. Gangs work in pairs: one operator stands near the property with an amplifier to extend the key fob signal, while the other stands next to the vehicle with a relay receiver that mimics the key. The OEM immobiliser is bypassed in seconds.
