Most recently, police said a teenager could be the one who has used a simple phone charger to steal cars in Charlotte. “Anyone that has a Kia or a Hyundai that’s 2008 or later, should be aware of this situation,” CMPD Detective William Wallace said last year. According to the latest CMPD warrant, a Kia Optima was stolen from an apartment complex in northeast Charlotte on the morning of Oct. 10, 2022. At this time, the teenage suspect has not been charged with any additional crimes beyond his initial larceny charge from last October.
