Mul-T-Lock hits the brakes on the rise of vehicle thefts

Last year saw vehicle thefts rise by a staggering 50 % in the UK , and again by a further 20 % so far this year – the highest level in four years . Yet the RAC reported that only 42 % of new vans are produced with an alarm fitted as standard , with 5.5 % not even having the capability to have one fitted .
» THE COST OF A LOST OR DAMAGED vehicle can quickly mount up for any business owner , not only due to the replacement of the vehicle , but also the effect of doing business with a reduced fleet . With thefts on the rise , business owners are quickly realising that securing their fleet and its contents can be imperative to the operational stability of their businesses .
Automotive locksmiths are specialists in their field , possessing the knowledge on how to utilise , adapt and develop the right products on the market to maximise security for both commercial and private vehicles .
