Mysterious force locks drivers out of their cars
DOZENS of drivers have been locked out of their cars or left unable to start their engines, due to bizarre electrical interference at a York petrol station.
Bosses at Tesco at Clifton Moor are investigating but say they are baffled by the mysterious force, which has been affecting motorists on their forecourt.
The phenomenon has hit drivers of cars with keyless entry systems, who have pulled up to refuel. Once they go to leave, after paying, they have been either unable to open their doors or not been able to start the ignition – but the problems stop as soon as the cars are pushed off the forecourt.
Martyn Lamb, 54, of Haxby said he started to experience problems two months ago after filling up his Ford Focus.
“This is the only place I am having this problem,” he said.
“It lets me in, but then I get a display on the dashboard saying ‘key not detected’.
“The first time it happened to me, I didn’t know what to do.
“Eventually I got the car started, but it was more by accident after trying a lot of things.”
Mr Lamb said the problem had happened “without fail” every time he had visited the petrol station over the past two months.
“They must have done something at the garage,” he said.
A spokesman for Tesco said the problem had been happening for six weeks and it seemed to be affecting engine immobilisers only at the Clifton Moor garage.
Cell locks replaced in Birmingham prison keys mystery
WORK on replacing locks at Birmingham’s newly-privatised prison has commenced following the mystery disappearance of a set of keys.
Prisoners at the jail in Winson Green were placed in lockdown for almost 24 hours last week after the keys, including one to open every cell door in the 1,450 capacity prison, went missing.
The keys have still not been recovered so security firm G4S, which took over the running of the jail on October 1, has been forced to begin the costly lock replacement.
Jail sources have estimated that the cost of the work could vary between £250,000 and £1million.
It was claimed that a rogue prison officer, unhappy at the G4S takeover of the Victorian jail, had deliberately misplaced the keys.
But Jerry Petherick, G4S chief of custodial services, said the majority of staff at HMP Birmingham were dedicated, highly-motivated and very professional.
He said they were disappointed that a colleague had apparently used the keys to highlight grievances with the new regime.
“It is not an isolated thing in the prison service for keys to go missing, but because Birmingham has been transferred to G4S, it raises the profile of the incident.
“Relocking has commenced and prison operations are continuing as normal while a replacement system is put in place,” said Mr Petherick.
