A Professional Car Theft Gang Strikes in Dore
One quiet Sunday night in 2018, a professional car theft gang targeted a customer’s Volkswagen Golf GTI parked securely on his driveway in Devonshire Road, S17. His car was locked, his outdoor light was on, and his home was surrounded by neighbours with windows overlooking the driveway.
But that didn’t stop the criminals.
Using an electronic code capture device—shockingly available for purchase on eBay—the gang unlocked his car without a key. What followed was a calculated and silent operation. Within minutes, the thieves:
✔ Removed the spoiler, bonnet, grille, wheels, and front panels
✔ Cut the wires to his outdoor security light to avoid detection
✔ Vanished - without a single neighbour hearing or seeing a thing
The entire theft went unnoticed, leaving the homeowner shocked and frustrated.

The Sheffield CCTV Engineers’ Solution
After contacting us, we recommended a two-fold security upgrade to prevent this from happening again:
High-Definition CCTV with Night VisionWe installed an external security camera equipped with infrared technology for clear night vision recording. The camera feeds into a digital recorder, allowing the homeowner to monitor footage live from anywhere in the world via a smartphone.
Why is this important? Most vehicle thieves operate in complete darkness. Infrared cameras make them visible even in pitch-black conditions, capturing their actions in real-time. |
Bodyguard Driveway Alert – The Ultimate Intruder DeterrentWe also installed the Bodyguard EWAS Driveway Alert, a smart laser beam detection system designed to instantly detect intruders before they can reach the vehicle.
How It Works: A laser beam or motion sensor is set to cover a designated area, such as a driveway or van parking space. The moment an unauthorised person crosses the invisible boundary, the system activates. A floodlight instantly turns on for 10 minutes to expose the intruder. A sharp, audible alert (adjustable in duration) sounds—enough to startle thieves and wake the homeowner. Unlike traditional motion sensors, the Bodyguard Driveway Alert is: ✅ Unaffected by pets or bad weather ✅ Adjustable to suit different security needs ✅ Perfect for van owners targeted by criminals |
Why Van Owners Need the Bodyguard EWAS Driveway Alert
Van theft and tool theft from vans have become an epidemic in the UK, with criminals using crowbars to fold down van doors and gain access to valuable equipment inside.
A Bodyguard Driveway Alert acts as a first line of defence, detecting and deterring criminals before they can act. The combination of light and sound often sends thieves running before they even attempt a break-in.
If you’re a van owner in Sheffield, don’t wait until it’s too late. Protect your tools, your vehicle, and your livelihood.
