Lumberton police are warning certain car owners that they may be more vulnerable to having their vehicles stolen.
Police said people who drive a 2015 to 2021 Hyundai or a 2011 to 2021 Kia may be targeted by car thieves because of a design flaw that allows thieves to drive away with the car with just a USB cable and a screwdriver.
A TikTok challenge brought the design flaw to light.
The Lumberton Police Department suggests that people who drive those vehicles park in a secured garage whenever possible, use a steering wheel lock bar or wheel boot, or block in the vehicle with one without the security flaw.
