Drivers locked out of their cars at Royston Tesco

Drivers have reported problems accessing their cars at the Tesco store in Royston, Hertfordshire

Mystery surrounds a Tesco branch after scores of drivers said they were locked out of their cars when key fobs stopped working. Hertfordshire Police says it has had about 100 reports in three days from people using the car park at the supermarket in Royston, Hertfordshire.The case is being investigated by communications watchdog Ofcom.Police urged people "not to panic" if they found they could not access their cars at the Old North Road site, and to report difficulties to the supermarket.Some worries focus on radio jamming devices blocking signals for remote central locking.

In response, one woman said: "My fob wouldn't work - some lady couldn't stop her alarm going off and there were at least three other car alarms going off.

Same happened in our residential car park. Me and my partner's car both developed intermittent locking and unlocking issues on the same day. Most likely a theft device used for intercepting signals being used.

A key is always the best.

Cue Twighlight Zone theme

Couldn’t possibly be radio signals only a crazy etc

it will be a programmable 2 way radio thats up on power and near the key frequency have they checked the security radios that one has not strayed of frequency .

That Tesco’s must be a local shop for local people

Experienced similar in a French Hypermarket carpark a fair few years ago. When I spoke to local garage they said it was a regular thing due to a radio mast nearby! Not linked to 5g for all conspiracy theorists out there - probably that long ago not even 4g!

Someone with a signal jammer probably trying to nick a specific vehicle that was there.

Are the supermarket using any new wireless tech

Yea it was Chinese, russian and iranian hackers -- they are trying to save the planet by getting western gas gurglers off the road !! Well, that's as good a story as any of the lies and poison they are accused of.

Surely it's just someone nearby with a signal jammer..... Which is slightly more worrying...

Shit batteries brought from Wish

It happened to me a few years ago at my local retail park. Mine and other shoppers fobs wouldn't work & then our car alarms went off. I didn't have a mobile signal either so couldn't even call for help. Went on for about 20mins. Never found out what had caused it. 🤷‍♀️ 👽 🤔🙄
