Keyless car theft alert - Westminster Road

Good evening Cheshire Alert Member,

This email is to inform you that an attempt theft of motor vehicle has taken place on Westminster Road, Macclesfield. The offender/s attempted to steal the vehicle on 28/05/25 between 02:40 and 02:50.

The offender/s attempted to use a device, possibly a keyless entry signal booster, to unlock the vehicle.

If you believe that you have seen anything or have any CCTV that has captured the offenders please contact the officer in the case on 101 and quote IML-2099047 alternatively you can e-mail the Macclesfield policing unit mail box on macclesfield.lpu@cheshire.pnn.police.uk.

Most burglaries are carried out by opportunist thieves, below are some ideas to prevent this happening to you.

When you go out, always lock the doors and windows.

If you have a car with keyless entry put your key and spare key in a faraday bag overnight.

Put your garden tools away, these provide an easy way to force entry to your house.

Make the house appear occupied, draw the curtains and leave a light on.

Don't leave spare keys outside or keys in outbuilding/garage doors.

Keep keys away from the letterbox to stop burglars ‘fishing’ for them.

Don’t leave your bin out where they can be used as a step to climb a wall, fence or gate.

Have a neighbour check that milk bottles, parcels and post are not left outside or near the letterbox.

Visible burglar alarms, good lighting, and carefully directed and limited security lighting can act as deterrents.

If your car has keyless entry, consider purchasing a faraday bag that blocks the signal preventing thieves from using the signal to get in to your car.
