Officers have seen a spike in a specific type of car theft they say may be inspired by a TikTok tutorial.

The popular social media app trend shows potential thieves how to steal Kia vehicles using a USB drive or cable and other tools in place of a key.

Seattle police say they investigated 36 reported Kia thefts in July, compared to just five in July 2021.

SPD said the stolen vehicles were Kia Optima, Soul, Sorrento, Forte and Sportage models manufactured between 2014 and 2021.
