Thames Valley Police have had reports that in the early hours of Monday 2nd September 2024, between 0100-0500hrs, three suspicious males were seen in the Windrush and Colwell Green estates of Witney. 

They were using a scanning device to obtain the signal of keys for cars with keyless entry systems. One car was stolen, but the males have tried to obtain at least 3 cars. 

The males were all dressed in black, with one male carrying a back pack and using the device. 

Due to the nature of this type of crime owners are unaware their car had been stolen until the next morning. 

If you own a similar car, please consider getting a signal blocking pouch to inhibit the signal from your car key. 

If you notice anything suspicious in your neighbourhood please do not hesitate to contact the police on 101 or 999.
