Springfield police are warning of an increase in automobile thefts, particularly targeting a couple of specific vehicle brands.
There were around 30 stolen vehicle reports in Springfield from June 15 through July 6th. Many of those thefts targeted Kia and Hyundai vehicles, apparently driven by viral social media posts.
Police recommend making sure your vehicle is always locked when unattended, and also advise use of a steering wheel locking device and an after-market car alarm system.
