BPD and city taking steps in attempt to prevent rapid car thefts


The City police department is planning on stepping up its efforts to slow the number of car thefts in Baltimore. Car thefts are up 95% in Baltimore since this time last year, with thefts of Kias and Hyundai making up 40% of all vehicle thefts. It’s part of a nationwide problem. Acting police commissioner Richard Worley said they are working to provide a steering wheel lock free to city residents to help prevent thefts.
