New Initiative Provides Free Anti-Theft Devices for Hyundai Vehicles in Leesburg
Leesburg, VA (July 22, 2024) – In a move to bolster vehicle security for Hyundai owners, the Leesburg Police Department has launched a new initiative to provide free steering wheel locks. This program is designed to address the recent surge in thefts of older Hyundai models, which have been specifically targeted due to vulnerabilities in their ignition systems.
Hyundai Motor Company has supplied the steering wheel locks, which will be available to Hyundai owners whose vehicles were manufactured between 2016 and 2021 and do not have a proximity key entry or push-button start. To receive a lock, residents must be Loudoun County residents and present a copy of their vehicle registration to the Leesburg Police Department. Registrations can be emailed to [email protected], or residents can visit the police station for assistance during business hours, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Leesburg Police emphasize the importance of taking additional precautions to secure vehicles. These include parking in well-lit areas, keeping valuables out of sight, and ensuring vehicle doors are always locked.
