Tacoma Police Chief Avery Moore shared a sobering reminder of the consequences of vehicle theft on Thursday, March 14. “Back in August, I had a detective that works for the Auto Theft Task Force, that was shot in the line of duty actually trying to pursue auto theft suspects,” he revealed. Now, new technology could help stop these crimes from happening. Hyundai announced that new software is available for its vehicles to prevent them from being stolen, and clinics will be set up to install this software for free starting Friday. “If anyone has a 2011 through 2021 Hyundai vehicle that has a turn key to start ignition system, we wanna see you at one of these event sites this weekend,” said David Vandelinde, vice president of Hyundai’s Campaign Completion and Safety Clinics. The two clinic sites will be at the Tacoma Dome and the Factoria Square Mall in Bellevue. No appointment is needed to get the software installed.
