Man arrested in Majadahonda for using a signal jammer to rob vehicles

A man has been arrested in Majadahonda after being caught robbing from inside vehicles with the help of a closing jammer, according to Google News ES — Crime (es) based on an article published by ABC.

The device used by the detainee blocks the signal from the vehicle's remote control, preventing the owner from correctly locking the doors when leaving, which allows the thief to access the interior without forcing the lock and without leaving obvious traces of entry.

Local security forces located and identified the suspect in the Madrid municipality of Majadahonda. Following his detention, he was placed at the disposal of the competent judicial authorities.

The use of signal jammers in car robberies has been recorded in different municipalities across Spain in recent years, although the ABC article does not provide data on the scope of the detainee's criminal activity or on the number of vehicles affected.
