Officers investigating keyless car theft in Awsworth launch appeal
Police investigating a keyless car theft in Awsworth have released a picture of two people they want to speak to about the incident.
Officers attended an Awsworth address after a BMW was stolen from a driveway in the middle of the night.
Keyless entry was gained to the vehicle, which was then driven away from Old School Lane, around 11.15pm on 7 November.
Police are still trying to track down the stolen car and the people responsible for the theft.
A picture featuring two people officers believe could have valuable information about the incident has been released as part of this.
PC Dave Kenna, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We’d like to speak to the two people in this image, who could assist us with our ongoing inquiries.
“If you are either of these people, please get in touch with us, while we’d also encourage anyone who recognises them to share this information too.”
PC Kenna added: “To deter criminals targeting their vehicles, motorists are urged to consider using wheel locks or steering wheel locks. If criminals see a physical device in your car, they will more than likely go somewhere else.
“When at home, keep your car key (and the spare) well away from the car and put the keys in a screened or signal-blocking pouch, like a Faraday bag.
“Motorists can also protect themselves by reprogramming their keys if they buy a second-hand car and are urged to turn off wireless signals on their fob when it's not being used.”
