Just to clarify what happens, are you driving the vehicle and the theft light and brake lights come on and it shuts off? Then you can cannot restart the vehicle?
If that is the case, what does it take to get the vehicle started again?
If you can jump start the vehicle and it starts again but shuts back off then it sounds like we need to start with checking the battery and make sure it can handle a load.
Here are guides that we need to run through to get started:
