Kias and Hyundais among the most stolen cars in San Antonio, SAPD chief says
Although San Antonio's overall crime rate is down slightly from a year ago, car thefts — especially those involving Kias and Hyundais — have skyrocketed, Police Chief William McManus told members of city council on Tuesday. Authorities recorded 4,292 vehicle thefts between January 2022 and March 2023, a 59.14% increase, according to SAPD crime statistics cited by McManus at the meeting of council's public safety committee. An array of factors, including a popular TikTok trend in which young car thieves target Kias and Hyandais, is contributing the problem, the chief explained.
