Car thieves have been stealing expensive cars from driveways with a new method that uses the key, but without needing to first take it from the owner’s house.

The ‘relay’ method has been on the rise for the last year but hadn’t been caught on video until now, when UK police released CCTV footage of two men stealing a Mercedes car in 50 seconds.
