A county business is giving away thousands of car key signal blockers in a bid to help reduce the growing number of keyless vehicles being stolen.

It can take criminals less than 60 seconds to steal a keyless car – and bosses at Howden insurance, which has a branch in the centre of Shrewsbury, are now launching a campaign to help protect a keyless car from theft.

“Our ‘block the break in’ campaign has been launched to raise awareness of how common this method has become, and how it can be carried out brazenly, even in full daylight. “If you have a keyless car, we strongly recommend using a Faraday pouch, also known as an RFID pouch or ‘signal blocker’ pouch and keeping your keys in them at all times.

“We would urge anyone with a keyless car to just pop into the branch in High Street to collect one – there is no obligation to be a Howden client, they are available for free to everyone.”
