CASE 1
ARTHUR Preou has vowed to never buy another keyless car after his £60,000 Range Rover Vogue was stolen from his drive overnight.
CCTV shows two men outside his home in Romford, Essex, last October, ‘waving some sort of device’. Another walks towards the front door, but moves out of view of the camera.
Within a few minutes the car’s headlights come on and the thieves get in before driving off. Mr Preou, 75, who owns a heating engineering business, said: ‘I’m blown away by how easy these things are to steal.’
He now drives a 2008 Range Rover – with a standard key.
Jaguar Land Rover said it had a team of experts tackling car crime and there had been a 90 per cent drop in keyless vehicle theft.
