Cologne: News Headline or Description - Car thieves (28 & 34 years old) arrested alongside signal jammers.

The duo of alleged thieves are believed to have used a device known as a jammer to interfere with the car's radio lock on Genovevastrasse and gain access to the interior through an unlocked passenger door. One suspect remained inside the vehicle, while the other acted as a lookout. Police had been monitoring these suspicious characters in the city center, keeping an eye out for other potential criminal activities. When the men attempted to escape towards Keupstraße at approximately 7:15 pm without any stolen goods, officers intercepted them.

During a subsequent search, the authorities discovered two jamming transmitters, along with a cell phone said to have been stolen from one of the suspects in Hamburg. The investigation continues. The two arrested individuals do not have a permanent residence in Germany and are set to appear before a judge today.

The Cologne police advise car owners who lock their vehicles using a remote control to ensure they receive a visual and/or audible confirmation from the car that the door is indeed locked.
