A year of stolen cars stopped at Baltimore region ports, by the numbers

Each year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents stop thousands of stolen vehicles from being exported and sold in other countries. Agents from CBP’s Baltimore Field Office stopped 343 stolen vehicles between October 2022 and September 2023, a 44% increase compared to the previous year. The vehicles — most of which were bound for West Africa — were valued at about $17.7 million, officials said Tuesday.
