A vehicle immobilisation device 1, which is fixed to a windscreen of a vehicle, comprises a suction grip 2 pivotally attached to a housing 16 via strut members 8, 10, 12. The suction grip 2 has a flexible rubber suction cup with an annular high density foam protective layer 4. The housing 16 comprises a pump handle 14, used to suck air from the suction grip, and a releasing mechanism (not shown), which allows air to return to the suction member. A covering member 18 is pivotally connected via a hinge 22 to the housing and further comprises a locking mechanism 6a,6b which may be locked to restrict access to the release mechanism. The covering member serves to restrict the view of the driver thus immobilising the vehicle. The immobilisation device may comprise a plurality of suction grips and may further incorporate lockable hinged, sliding or folding panels to increase the covered area and further obscure the view of the driver.
