Closed petition Tougher sentences for vehicle theft including aggravated burglary

Car crime is one of the most common crimes in the UK and a significant proportion is linked to organised crime. Manufacturers are making it easier for vehicle theft through keyless entry. The Government needs to deter this by increasing the sentences for those caught or involved in car crime.

More details

The DVLA quoted that 58,082 vehicles were stolen in 2022, with only 28% being recovered. The Government need to sanction tougher sentences to deter this. The effect this has on the victim can be horrific and yet nothing seems to be done about it. Car theft also affects the general population when insurance renewals come around in higher premiums.
