New York – Car owners and police officers are worried following the sharp rise in car theft in the US. The police found that the new challenge that arose in the social media Tik Tok is the main reason for the increase in car theft.
The challenge is to film a video of traveling in a hijacked car. Kia and Hyundai cars are the most stolen cars. Car thefts are up 19% this year as a new trend emerges. Police Commissioner Edward Kaban said that 10,600 car thefts were registered this year. At the same time last year, 9,000 cases were registered. This August has seen a 25% increase over last August. He said that this is being viewed very seriously.
After a Tik Tok video on how to steal Kia and Hyundai cars went viral, thefts increased. 50% of stolen cars fall into this category. The video shows in detail how to start the car without a key. Police said that many people have already been arrested in various cases and most of them are below 18 years of age.
