Officials warn that some car brands have increased risk of theft

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A recent spike in stolen KIAs and Hyundais evokes warnings from N.H. officials.

The trend has been on the rise across the country, and New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella says the Granite State is not immune.

According to New Hampshire consumer insights, six of the ten most common stolen vehicles nationwide are either a KIA or Hyundai, likely due to content on social media that shows how to quickly steal them.

Formella released advice for car owners to avoid theft.
