Plano Police Department said that they arrested a 14-year-old boy who is connected to nearly 40 car break-ins, reportedly inspired by the TikTok trend of stealing certain models.
The department cited a recent trend where TikTok users will post how to steal certain Hyundai and Kia brand cars. And nearly all the cars the suspect broke into were of those makes.
"Online across the country, we have a trend of juveniles breaking into these vehicles. The juveniles are looking online to see how they can see the vehicles, and they’re sharing it with each other just like they would any other social media platform," Chapman added. "If it’s a challenge and people are trying to get out there and take cars and mine is one they want, I’m wondering if I should keep a closer eye on my car so it doesn’t happen to me," Plano resident Patty Corsi told FOX 4.
