We also encourage spreading the word to those, such as the elderly, who may be particularly vulnerable to these fraudsters and may be targets of these high-pressure scams.


What is Identity Theft?

Identity theft occurs when scammers collect and/or replicate your personal information to commit fraud. Thieves can make purchases from your accounts, acquire passports, receive government benefits, apply for loans, and more. Your information can be stolen through your trash and mail, or through tactics such as spyware, viruses, hacking, and phishing.

Tips to protect yourself:
  • Never provide your personal information over the phone, via text message, email, or the internet
  • Regularly check your credit rating/reports
  • Avoid the use of public computers and Wi-Fi hotspots to access or provide personal information
  • Create strong, unique passwords for each account and password protect your devices and home Wi-Fi
  • Do not write down passwords and carry them with you
  • Only make payments online through a secure site – the web address will start with ‘https’ and show a closed padlock symbol
  • Do not give out personal information on social media
  • Always shield your PIN when making purchases & never lose sight of your card
  • Shred and destroy documents with any personal information

Visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre for more information on how to recognize, reject and report fraud.

Vehicle Theft Awareness: Ram Thefts

Dec 8, 2022

December 9, 2022

Brantford Police Service are warning the public regarding recent vehicle thefts in the City of Brantford.

Upon further investigation, police have determined that seven vehicles between August 2022 and December 2022 have been stolen with the use of relay and reprogramming technology.

Sometime overnight between Tuesday, December 6, and Wednesday, December 7, 2022, unknown suspect(s) attended four separate addresses in Brantford and stole vehicles that were parked in driveways and parking lots:
  • Garners Lane
  • Osborn Avenue
  • Edith Monture Avenue
  • Varadi Avenue

Reports indicate that the vehicles involved are newer model, Ram trucks with keyless entry and push start technology. The thefts have typically occurred in the overnight hours.

How does relay vehicle theft work?

The suspect will approach a residence and use technology to find a key fob signal from inside a residence.  The technology allows the suspects to remain outside the residence to amplify and transfer the key fob signal in order to unlock, start and steal the vehicle. The theft of the vehicle will typically be undetected until the morning when the owner discovers their vehicle has been stolen and they are still in possession of their key fob.

How does reprogramming vehicle theft work?

The suspects will approach the vehicle and force entry inside. Once inside the vehicle an electronic device is used to access the vehicles diagnostics. The suspects then reprogram a blank key fob so the vehicle can be started and steal the vehicle.

How to protect your vehicle from a Relay or Reprogramming Theft?

Make your vehicle more secure with the following theft prevention tips:
  • Park your vehicle inside a locked and secure garage.
  • Block the access to the onboard diagnostic port to prevent thieves from reprograming the vehicle’s key fob. (A simple device can be purchased online).
  • Use a steering wheel locking device to deter theft.
  • Place the vehicle key fob inside a radio frequency shielding bag/pouch to block cell signals when not in use. Inside your residence and in a purse or pocket.
  • Consider equipping your vehicle with an aftermarket global positioning system (GPS) tracker. The tracker may assist police in locating the vehicle and/or suspects.
  • Ensure all keys are accounted for and never left in the vehicle or unattended.
  • Lock your vehicle at all times.
  • Never leave your vehicle running and unattended.
  • Consider purchasing a surveillance system and ensure the quality and function will capture any suspicious activity for a 24-hour period.

If you observe suspicious people in your neighborhood, looking into vehicles, we encourage you to report this to police immediately. Doing so will assist investigators to track patterns of criminal behavior and potentially identify suspects.

A crime in-progress can be reported by calling 9-1-1. Any non-emergency incidents can be reported on-line at Brantfordpolice.ca or by calling 519-756-7050.

Additionally, information can be provided anonymously to Brantford Crime Stoppers by calling 519-750-8477 or 1-800-222-8477 or by submitting a web tip online at: https://www.crimestoppersbb.com/submit-a-tip/
