Conshohocken police are now asking people to lock their cars, know where their key fob is, and invest in an anti-theft device, like a wheel lock or a Faraday box to store their keys.
Another warning has been issued in Montgomery County about an influx in car thefts. This time, the Conshohocken Police Department is sounding the alarm.Smith told Action News he's worried because police say most of the thieves have targeted newer model Hondas, like his, and other cars with the "push to start" feature."Right before I left for the airport, I noticed my car was gone," Petroski said.
Petroski said police told him the thieves were likely able to use the signal of his key fob to access his car. "We had our keys on the other side of this wall. It's, for sure, far enough that the car won't unlock. But, they think the thieves magnified the signal of the key fob to the point the keys will unlock and start the car," he explained.. Police there said thieves targeted apartment complexes in the Gulph Mills area, stealing newer model Hondas in a matter of minutes.
Police say the boxes will block the radio frequency used by your keys to communicate with your car. They say thieves can capture these signals while your keys are in your house."It's a metal box, so it keeps from the keys being read at all," he told Action News. Police in Conshohocken say they are still trying to figure out who is responsible for these recent car thefts.
