Easy to buy electronic scanners are being used by criminals to steel Britains popular executive cars
This is being done in under 60-seconds on many occasions and without a scratch. This was controversially revealed by investigators at BBC Watchdog.
Criminals have devised a technique that allows them to break into cars and simply drive away with some of the most expensive and secure cars on the market. All this is done using a hi-tech device that is easily bought online to get inside the vehicle. They then get a second electronic device to re-programme a blank electronic key to start up the vehicle. The process of this literally takes minutes.
In some cases, some of the insurers have refused to give cover to cars which are parked on public streets due to this recent rise.
