PITTSBURGH — A national crime trend involving teenagers using USB cords to steal vehicles is currently hitting the Pittsburgh area.
“That’s crazy,” said Chanda Coleman, driver of a Kia. “That’s really wild. Really wild.”
How-to videos on how to steal Kias are all over YouTube. On Tik Tok, you’ll find the “Kia Challenge.”
“A collaborative group started out in Milwaukee, and it’s spreading across the country where they’re able to take these vehicles simply by using a cellphone charging cable and using that to start the vehicle,” said Pittsburgh Police Sgt. Tom Huerbin.
