Active Defence: "Keyless" Car Theft Conspiracy (29 Vehicles)

The defendant is charged with Conspiracy to Steal Motor Vehicles, contrary to the Criminal Law Act 1977.

‍

The indictment alleges a wide-ranging conspiracy involving the targeted theft of 29 separate vehicles. The scale of the operation suggests a professional organised crime network focusing specifically on high-value vehicles with keyless ignition systems.

This case centers on a series of distinct but linked offences involving "relay attacks." The perpetrators allegedly used specialist equipment—specifically transponder grabbers attached to thick wire loops—to bypass vehicle security systems without the physical keys.

‍

Police investigators have linked the defendant to a series of successful and attempted thefts across multiple dates. The prosecution has questioned the defendant regarding his movements, his presence at specific offence locations, and his knowledge of the vehicle occupants. The Crown asserts that this was a systematic operation targeting specific makes and models.

Current Strategy: Alibi & Identification Defence

‍

The defendant has entered a formal Not Guilty plea to the indictment. Our defence strategy relies heavily on challenging the identification evidence placing him at the scene of the thefts.

‍

We are currently preparing an alibi defence, supported by evidence that the defendant was subject to a curfew during the relevant period and was therefore at his home address. The defence team, led by Fosia Jury, is rigorously examining the reliability of the cell site and tracking data used by the prosecution to allege his involvement in the conspiracy.

Status: Awaiting Trial

‍

The case is currently proceeding through the Crown Court stages. The defendant maintains his innocence and is awaiting trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

Note: As this is an active legal matter involving an ongoing investigation into an organized crime series, further details remain confidential.
