MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. — McKees Rocks police issued a warning of newer cars being stolen at an “alarming rate.”
According to police, they are receiving multiple reports per day of 2010 or newer model Kias and 2015 and newer model Hyundais being stolen in and around town. They’re also recovering the cars from outside jurisdictions each day.
Police said the cars are being stolen using a common USB cable, although they won’t further explain the simple process.
“We urge owners of these makes and model year vehicles to invest in a steering wheel security device. This will hopefully deter thieves from shattering the window in attempts of stealing the car in the first place,” McKees Rocks police said on their Facebook page.
