Two car thieves have been jailed for stealing 59 Ford Fiestas worth more than £366,000 in a five-month crime spree. Kaine Guest-Scott, 22, and Theon Lynch, 21, targeted train stations and park and rides across the Midlands in broad daylight.
They used transmitter devices to open the cars, which were registered between 2012 and 2017, without triggering the alarms. The brazen crooks then broke steering locks with angle grinders and reprogrammed blank keys before driving away.
The pair became so expert in stealing the cars that CCTV captured them pinching one in just 90 seconds. Between June and November last year they stole 59 Ford Fiestas worth £366,000, which police say were then stripped for parts.
