Pittsburgh Police issue warning after more Hyundai/KIA vehicle break-ins

Pittsburgh Police are warning the public as Hyundai and Kia vehicles continue to be targeted by thieves.

The thieves, particularly young people, target the models due to a previous security issue that allows them to easily break in and take off with the vehicle.

Police say they took reports over the weekend of eight break-ins and attempts on Hyundai and Kia cars in the Brookline area.

Pittsburgh Police remind residents to always lock the doors to their vehicle, park in a well-lit space when possible and make sure your Hyundai or Kia is updated with the latest security software.

They also suggest using a wheel lock on the steering wheel.

Any suspicious activity should be reported to police.

Hyundai and Kia models have been targeted over the past several years.
