County Executive Steve Ehlmann says 70% of the people in the County Jail for car theft or car break-ins are from outside the county. Ehlmann tells KMOX it's a problem that hits home for many, especially those living near the interstate.
"My son had his computer stolen out of his car, one night, when he left the doors unlocked. They didn't steal the car. Parked in my driveway. Very low crime area."
Ehlmann says the auto theft task force continues to make arrests, usually of suspects from east of the Missouri River.
