A HUGE rise in stolen Ferraris is being fuelled by thieves using a £10 jammer available online.
There were 19 thefts of the Italian-made supercars in London between January and April.

They were carried out on cars parked in streets using cheap jammers that interrupt electronic signals and disable trackers and immobilisers.
One brazen thief even filmed himself roaring away in a stolen Ferrari, boasting on camera: “No one’s out here doing it like me bruv.”
The crook showed off a jammer on the passenger seat as he revved the car.
Owners of Ferraris such as the £376,000 SF90 Stradale are urged to use extra security such as old-fashioned steering locks until better protection can be devised.

The Met said nine of the Ferraris were stolen in Westminster, seven in Kensington & Chelsea and one each in the boroughs of Hackney, Barnet and Croydon.
But police and Ferrari say there is no evidence of a link with the cyber attack.
