"Worcester Police Warn of Repeated Kia and Hyundai Thefts Linked to TikTok Challenge"

Worcester police are warning car owners about an increase in thefts of Kias and Hyundais, potentially tied to a TikTok trend where car thieves, known as the "TikTok Boys," target these vehicles due to their lack of sophisticated software in vehicle immobilizers. Since November, 24 Hyundais and 12 Kias have been stolen in the city, with the thefts occurring across various areas. Police advise car owners to use steering wheel clubs, park in well-lit areas, and install GPS tracking services to protect their vehicles.
