Vehicle Marking

Protecting vehicles from theft and break-ins

The low availability of high-cost parts is driving the increase in vehicle theft. Stolen cars and vans are usually broken down into their component parts, which are then sold on the internet or used to repair crashed vehicles. The car theft epidemic is not just UK based - it is worldwide. Criminal gangs and networks have been working across borders in Europe and beyond, carrying out sophisticated operations. Worryingly, they are also becoming increasingly adept at finding ways around locks, alarms, and immobilisers.

SelectaDNA provides a robust , layered approach to security that is globally recognised as one of the most advanced solutions in identification. It is proven to dramatically reduce the chances of theft.

SelectaDNA Forensic Property Marking kits mark all types of cars and commercial vehicles including 4x4s, vans, and classic cars.  Each kit has a combination of DNA marking, UV tracer, and unique microdots. Window etching and highly durable tamper resistant ID plates complete a strong combination of visible and covert marks and security labels and warning stickers. 

Photographs, VIN, and Engine numbers can all be added to the Global Secure Asset Register to aid identification and recovery of stolen vehicles and parts.

The SelectaDNA Vehicle Kit includes:

• 1 x membership card
• 1 x 8ml bottle of unique SelectaDNA (with microdots)
• 2 x blue stick applicators
• 4 x unique TESA security labels 
• 4 x dot matrix standard stencils

How to use a SelectaDNA kit to mark a vehicle:

Selectamark Cat Marking Kits

Every Selectamark Cat Marking Kit contains two tough and heat resistant TESA security labels, as well as a specially formulated metal etching compound which is applied over the label to create a permanent visible mark on the metal surface of the catalytic converter. Once the compound is applied over the label, it creates a permanent, visible mark on the vehicle’s catalytic converter.

The kit also includes two window warning stickers to advise would-bet thieves that the catalytic converter has been security marked. Additional warning signage is also available. Selectamark Cat Marking Kits compliment SelectaDNA Vehicle Marking Kits, and between them you can ensure every part of your vehicle that thieves might target is security marked.

SelectaDNA Commercial Van Sprays

SelectaDNA Commercial Van Spray Kits have been developed to prevent the theft of assets, tools, or equipment being stored in vans and other smaller commercial vehicles.

The portable, battery-powered Intruder Spray System is armed when the doors open, and disarmed through the use of a small key-fob. Those sprayed will be marked with a completely unique synthetic DNA liquid which is only visible under Police UV lights, and can be used to link the individual to the crime.

SelectaDNA holds Secured By Design status meaning it is a Police-preferred solution. The company is also listed amongst leading insurers such as Aviva and Allianz, as a preferred supplier and specialist partner. SelectaDNA is also supported by Crimestoppers.
