Dreihiefte in Sankt Augustin: Audis kidnapped with sophisticated tricks!

In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, three high-quality Audi vehicles were stolen in Sankt Augustin-a gray Audi Q5, a white Audi Q5 and a black Audi Q7. The cars were all on private parking spaces, but the unknown perpetrators had it easy: they caught the radio signals of the car keys and were able to open and start the vehicles without the physical keys.

The police are investigating and asking witnesses who have seen suspicious persons or vehicles around Menden to report to 02241 541-3321. Experts warn: This technique enables the thieves to drive the stolen vehicles without a key - a real risk for car owners. To protect themselves, the police advise deactivating the keyless opening and parking the cars in closed garages overnight. The safe storage of the radio key in a metal can can also help to minimize the risk.
