Following a national trend, The Swatara Township Police Department is experiencing an increase in vehicle thefts involving Hyndai and Kia models.  This widespread problem has been intensified by various social media platform posts regarding the means to conduct these thefts.  If you are the owner of a Hyndai or Kia vehicle we encourage you to contact your local dealership to obtain more information regarding steps being taken by the manufacturers to prevent your vehicle from being stolen. 

We also ask that anyone with information on any recent thefts, or anyone who observes SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY in your neighborhood to call 911 immediately to report the same.  We have had instances in the past where individuals either delayed or failed to report suspicious persons and circumstances to 911 and chose to post the information on social media platforms.  Our officers will respond to reports of suspicious activity and in many cases leads to the arrest of suspects.
