CLEVELAND — Less than three months into 2023, car thefts in Cleveland are twice what they were at this time last year. The city's already suing Hyundai and Kia to try to recoup losses from those thefts, but now, city leaders are thinking about going after another company for aiding and abetting.
The City of Cleveland has filed a lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai makers citing their failure to install anti-theft devices. But the Public Safety Committee tells News 5 they want to take a step further. City attorneys are now looking at what legal action they can take against the app TikTok. “This violence is ramping up,” Polensek added. “Our men and women in blue are in greater jeopardy than ever before and our citizens are.”
