Jaguar Land Rover has announced that it is investing £1m to support policing against the wave of organised criminals targeting the company’s vehicles. The move follows last year’s creation of Jaguar Insurance and Land Rover Insurance to support owners who were struggling to get affordable premiums. It has provided more than 46,000 quotes with average premiums of £183 per month.

Patrick McGillycuddy, managing director of JLR UK, said: “We are constantly developing our systems and security features and through our close collaboration with police, we stay ahead of any emerging methods and quickly deploy anti-theft measures.

“This additional investment, coupled with our other ongoing and proactive action, shows our commitment to supporting the authorities in having a tangible impact on combating this issue in the UK.”
