BENSALEM, Pa. (WPVI) — Police in Bucks County are warning residents about a rise in thefts targeting high-performance vehicles, especially Dodge Chargers and Challengers.<\/p>\n
The thieves are also going after some popular mainstream models from Honda, like the Accord, Civic and CR-V.<\/p>\n
Bensalem Police put out this surveillance video showing how quickly thieves were able to steal a Charger from a driveway around 5 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n
It’s literally gone in 60 seconds.<\/p>\n
They did it quietly and efficiently, without setting off the alarm.<\/p>\n
In the video, you can see the thieves rolling the car down the driveway in neutral to not start up the loud engine near the home.<\/p>\n
Bensalem Police say car thieves are often using relay devices that capture key fob signals from inside homes to unlock and start cars without the actual key.<\/p>\n
Police recommend that people who have “push-to-start” vehicles keep the key fobs away from doors, store them in RFID blocking or Faraday pouches, use steering wheel locks and park in garages, if possible.
