The thieve­s were able to open the car withou­t needin­g a keyTwo men in hoodies were able to steal a Mercedes parked outside a house near Birmingham using relay devices. “The devices are capable of receiving signals through walls, doors, and windows, but not metal,” says the police. The police have released a video that shows two men stopping outside a house in the Elmdon area of Solihull where a Mercedes is seen being stolen.
