Ignas Kisskiss, 36, of Sisley Road, Barking, is one of two men to have been arrested as part of the probe into dozens of organised car thefts across Hertfordshire.
The incidents under investigation saw the security systems of high value vehicles bypassed using specialist equipment between October and December.
Aurimas Sarkis, 29, of Swallow Drive, Raunds, was also arrested.
Both men have been charged with multiple counts of conspiracy to steal motor vehicles.
Chf Insp Martin Turpin said: “Vehicle theft, particularly of high value keyless models, has been a prevalent crime across the county in recent years.
“This type of crime is often linked to organised crime groups and using specialist equipment thieves can steal a vehicle in seconds.
“We are targeting these gangs, working with our partners in neighbouring forces and using ANPR technology to track criminals using the road networks making Hertfordshire a hostile environment for them to operate in.
“Owners can make their vehicles safer by following our advice, such as using an approved steering wheel lock and key fob signal blocking pouch when vehicles are not being used.”
