A Kenyan innovator named Eliud Gilisho has developed a new anti-theft system to combat rising phone snatching.
Key Features of the System
• Remote-Controlled Watch: Users wear a companion watch that can remotely trigger a loud alarm on the phone the moment it is snatched.
• Lockdown Controls: Once activated, the thief cannot switch off the phone or lower the volume; the device stays active until the battery dies.
• Real-Time Tracking & Warnings: The system includes a companion app that tracks the stolen phone's GPS location and displays warnings (such as notifying the thief that police are following).
