The thief carries a car decoder with three suggestions

Since the beginning of this year, there have been frequent cases of theft of mid- and low-end cars, especially mini-cars, in Xiamen. Car thieves steal cars even in the daytime. During the high-incidence period, 5 to 6 mini-cars are stolen every day in the city. On March 15, the Xiamen police held a press conference on anti-theft and car snatching. It was revealed at the meeting that from March onwards, the city launched a special operation to focus on the crime of car theft. Within half a month, four car theft gangs and one car robbery passenger criminal gang were arrested. 15 suspects were arrested and seized. A total of 7 stolen vehicles and criminal tool vehicles were found, and more than 130 cases of car theft were cracked. From March 1 to 15, the city's total number of car thefts was 4 fewer than the same period last year, a decrease of 8.16%.

They will intercept and control suspicious vehicles 24 hours a day, and control crime from the crime line. At the same time, the security department has also strengthened inspection and management of special industries such as vehicle maintenance, in order to block the channels of conversion and sales.

  Police remind: three precautions against theft

In response to several weak links that citizens cannot ignore in car prevention, the police issued a special reminder:

1. Vehicles should not be parked at random on the roadside, alley or around the community, but should be parked in a guarded parking lot or community. Most of the stolen vehicles in the case were parked on unguarded roadsides and alleys. The suspected car theft was not easy to be discovered when committing the crime, giving the suspected car theft an opportunity. According to the suspects of car theft, they had been waiting for the crime in the guarded community, and were found chased by the security guards of the community. They fled around so that they no longer dared to steal from the guarded location.

2. The vehicle should be installed with anti-theft facilities as much as possible. Most of the stolen vehicles did not have alarms installed, and the suspected car theft did not suffer any obstruction when committing the crime. According to the suspect's account, before stealing the car, they will try to check whether there is an alarm to check whether they have taken measures such as the steering wheel lock. If they find these measures, they will simply give up the vehicle and look for the next target.

3. For vehicles equipped with an alarm, when the alarm is issued, the vehicle mainly takes a look at the side of the vehicle. According to the suspects of car theft, when the car is stolen, they will first sound the alarm on the car. If the owner does not come out for a long time, they will quickly pry and steal the car.
