Criminals use signal jammers to prevent car keys from locking and setting the alarm. Victims walk away from their cars, unaware that they have been jammed and that their vehicles remain unlocked and vulnerable.

This leaves the path clear for thieves to help themselves to the victim’s belongings without trace, and even take the car itself. What’s more, insurance companies may not pay out claims from victims of car jammers, as there is no forced entry.

Hot spots for this type of crime are school drop-offs, petrol stations, car parks and shopping centres.

jamguard alerts you if car jammers are operating in the vicinity. Thieves cannot hide their jamming signal from jamguard.
