Simple steps to reduce risk include:
  • Keeping key fobs away from doors and windows
  • Using a Faraday pouch or signal‑blocking box
  • Parking securely and using visible deterrents such as steering locks
  • Ensuring home security lighting, CCTV or video doorbells are working
  • Checking for manufacturer security updates or disabling keyless entry where possible

Residents are encouraged to report anything unusual to Police Scotland via 101, or 999 in an emergency.
