Car thieves in Kenya are employing new tactics, including illegal signal jammers, to steal vehicles by disabling tracking systems. This new threat is overwhelming traditional vehicle security measures, prompting experts to recommend advanced anti-theft strategies for motorists.

• Signal jammers work by transmitting stronger signals on frequencies used by GPS trackers, effectively blinding them.
• The misuse of these devices, originally for military use, has expanded into civilian crime, particularly vehicle theft, with cheap spoofing kits now available online.
• In addition to jamming, criminals are physically disconnecting trackers or using GPS spoofers to feed false coordinates.
• Some tracking companies in Kenya have been accused of colluding with burglars.
• To combat this, experts advise investing in trackers with anti-jamming sensors, redundancy features (dual SIM, satellite links), inertial navigation, data buffering, and installing multiple hidden trackers.
