In early 2019, the West Midlands Police (WMP) and Crime Commissioner(PCC), at that time Mr Jamieson, agreed to help the government tackle car crime by making contributions to its new Vehicle Crime Taskforce. this followed a 2018 meeting with Ford, Nissan, Audi, Jaguar LandRover to put pressure on them to close security loopholes in their keyless technology.\u00a0 The 2019 post can be read here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Car thefts in the West Midlands have almost tripled since 2015<\/strong> and, as such, Mr Jamieson made tackling the issue a priority for the area\u2019s police. The task force was to meet every 6 months.\u00a0 To date, little information about the meetings, if they occurred, has been provided.<\/p>\n

2021 saw ‘New car theft figures published<\/a>‘,\u00a0(below), the obvious headline numbers being:<\/p>\n

NUMBER OF VEHICLES STOLEN 2019 – 9,086<\/strong><\/p>\n

NUMBER OF VEHICLES STOLEN 2020 – 8,453<\/strong><\/p>\n

Commenting on the figures, the PCC said: \u201cThese figures show great improvements for manufacturers like Jaguar Land Rover and Audi.\u00a0 For those with an interest in the subject, we provide the 2022 figures, with the 2023 theft numbers to date, we have undertaken some sorting but of note:<\/p>\n

Ford and Land Rover \/ Range Rovers remain popular, but vans appear to have become more so:<\/p>\n

NUMBER OF VEHICLES STOLEN 2022 – 15,415<\/strong>. to the end of October 2022 the number was 12,713<\/strong><\/p>\n

NUMBER OF VEHICLES STOLEN 2023, to the end of October – 11,854.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Seemingly a reduction but sadly, it is very difficult to accept any figures at face value; subject to whom you approach, the figures differ wildly.<\/p>\n

In 2022 the new\u00a0 WMP PCC, Simon Foster, wrote to the Home Office about Britain’s 48,400<\/strong> vehicle thefts<\/a>.\u00a0 The Home Office wrote back citing a figure of over 101,198<\/strong> vehicle thefts<\/a>!<\/p>\n
