On 15 January I chaired the first meeting of the Vehicle Theft Taskforce. The Taskforce brings together the automotive industry, insurers, the police, Government departments and others to help ensure that everything is being done to prevent vehicle theft. As part of its work, the Taskforce will review whether further measures are required to stop devices that may be used to commit vehicle theft falling into criminals’ hands.
