After numerous Kia and Hyundai thefts over the past several months, the Stark County Sheriff’s Office is working to combat these incidents.
The sheriff’s office is offering free steering wheel locks for anyone who owns a Kia or Hyundai, officials said.
The vehicle must have been manufactured between 2011 and 2022 to be eligible, and locks will only be available while supplies last. To receive a lock, vehicle owners must bring their driver’s license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance.RELATED: Cleveland sues Hyundai, Kia after surge in car thefts, drains public resourcesNews 5 Now: Morning Download the News 5 Cleveland app now for more stories from us, plus alerts on major news, the latest weather forecast, traffic information and much more.
