Police are planning an event next month for Kia and Hyundai car owners as the county police chief says car thefts have been at an “all-time high.”
During a press conference Wednesday, Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones said vehicle thefts have been increasing tremendously over the last couple of years.

Jones said Kias and Hyundais are most-often stolen. Over the weekend of May 10-12, police and representatives from Kia and Hyundai will partner to host a free community event for those who have these cars.
At the event next month, members of the public with Kias and Hyundais will be able to bring them to public safety headquarters at 100 Edison Park Drive in Gaithersburg to get software updates and other anti-theft tools.
