    • $5 million toward prevention programs for teens and young adults in the most impacted areas across the state
    • New York State Police has increased enforcement in high-theft areas
    • District attorneys will receive federal help in prosecuting a large number of cases
    • New York launched a new website to provide resources and education to help New Yorkers take precautions against auto theft
    • The governor and NYS DMV sent a letter to New Yorkers owning a Kia or Hyundai warning them of the increase in theft of their specific cars
      • The letter advises the owners of these cars of free tools available to prevent their cars from being stolen

    According to the state, car thefts increased 67% across New York in 2023, excluding New York City. The National Insurance Crime Bureau released a list of tips on how to prevent auto theft for those concerned with the safety of their cars.
