Description | Criminals manage to steal two vehicles during the night in the town of Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. Both thefts are carried out without using force and without using the car keys – it is known that at least one of them was a Mercedes model. To carry out the operation, the criminals placed equipment near the house to intercept the signal from the keys. They then used the intercepted signal to transmit it remotely to the car, open the doors and take it away. During the getaway, one of the vehicles was stopped by the suspects… but did not start again, so it was abandoned. | |
