Wilmington Police encourage vehicle owners to take steps to prevent auto theft:
In recent months, our agency has received multiple reports of vehicle thefts and attempted vehicle thefts involving some Hyundai and Kia vehicles. These are similar in nature to theft and attempted theft incidents that have been reported by law enforcement agencies across the country.
Police continue to urge motorists not to leave their vehicles unattended while running, or while keys are inside of the vehicle. Police also remind drivers to avoid leaving any valuables in plain sight, and to be mindful of spare or valet keys that might be left in their vehicles that could potentially result in a theft.
Owners of Hyundai and Kia vehicles affected by a reported software issue that can facilitate theft, are encouraged to contact a dealership about a possible remedy. Vehicle owners can also obtain other anti-theft devices to help prevent theft.
