Thefts Of Kia and Hyundai Vehicles Nationwide- Anti-theft Software 
Updates Available From Your Dealer
Gloucester Township Police, and police across the country, have seen multiple auto theft incidents involving these specific car brands. The car thieves are taking advantage of a vulnerability in the ignition system, allowing them to start the vehicle using a USB device or cord. If the vehicle is locked, they will smash a window to gain access.
Kia and Hyundai have both released an anti-theft update available for vehicles affected by ongoing national theft trends. These are links to information from each manufacturer to update your vehicle:
Another way to combat vehicle theft of these vehicles is to install a steering wheel lock. And as always: LOCK your vehicle, REMOVE the key or remote key, and valuables from the vehicle.
If you observe any suspicious activity or observe a crime in progress, CALL 911. You may also call the GTPD non-emergency line at 856-228-4500.
