The Louisville Metro Police Department said a 12 year-old is the latest suspect of a car theft in Louisville after the juvenile was caught with a stolen KIA.
Police also reminded the public of the dangers of a continued string of car thefts targeting KIA’s and Hyundai’s.
The thefts seemingly stem from a viral social media challenge that teaches people how to steal those cars using a USB cable. Louisville Metro Police said it is still a popular trend in some areas of Louisville.
As of September, Louisville Metro Police said one-third of all vehicles stolen in the Metro have been KIA’s and Hyundai’s.
Last month, Louisville Metro Police Department posted a video reminding people to be vigilant. Police urge people to lock their car doors, park in well-lit areas, buy a steering wheel anti-theft device and a tracking device.
