Interference locks drivers out of cars at petrol filling station

Dozen 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, according to the Yorkshire Press.

Bosses at Tesco's Clifton Moor branch 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.
