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.
