GET ONE. IT'S FREE! Got a Hyundai or Kia? You need one of these, Det. T. Arroyo says.
To help you protect your vehicle from theft, free steering wheel locks are available at Sumter PD. If you own a Hyundai or Kia, models from 2011 to 2021, call 803-436-2717, to schedule a time to pick one up visit us at 335 N. Lafayette Drive.
In an effort to reduce automobile thefts, Sumter PD partnered with Hyundai to provide these FREE locks as a service to the community.
Auto thefts and break-ins are a major concern in our community and across the country with Hyundai and Kia models being a prime target for thieves.
This year, from Jan. 1 through the morning of April 22, 62 vehicles were reported stolen in the city of Sumter. More than half were Hyundai and Kia models.
Hyundai and Kia also account for the majority of attempted thefts to date. Thirty-two attempted thefts involved Hyundai and Kia models.
We continue to urge drivers to NEVER leave their keys and key fobs inside their vehicle and to promptly remove their belongings, especially firearms.
For more information, contact the Sumter Police Department at 803-436-2700. Any unusual activity should be reported immediately or as soon as possible by dialing 911. Our E-911 Center telecommunicators can assist you.

What models?
Those are great! I used to have one.
I have ‘99 Taurus, I’m fairly worried about… 😂😂
The lock is worth more than the car!!! 😂
I have a Hyundai when can I come and get one…..
Mine was one of the 62 stolen!
My niece has a Kia and it’s been stolen twice! She now has one of these devices.
So they don't work on newer models?

TRAFFIC ALERT: Westbound traffic on a portion of Broad Street is closed as officers respond to a vehicle incident involving a snapped power pole.

Appreciate the alert. I was just going to head that way.
Please get an officer to Pike Road by Sign Wave to direct traffic from Broad and the School over flow. This is a mess.
Should have used the first mall entrance at the light to detour. Let the school go one way the other the other way by Belk. This is a mess
Two snapped poles in just as many days. Would love to hear what the determined cause was
Has it been repaired yet?
Yo brother there's a GS on May 4&5. American Legion Fairgrounds .
ROAD CLOSURE: Officers are closing Sumter Street at Oakland Avenue temporarily until repairs can be made to address a leaning utility pole with low-hanging lines.
Please find an alternate route if you need to be in the area.

Also a Safety rail PIPE STICKING OUT at the sidewalk at the Young’s on Pinewood Rd across from the new Chic Fillet .. looks Deadly.. give me permission and I will go Cut it Back!?!
Just look at how trashy that corner is!!!👍
One on Washington needs repairing too and the bridge on Lafayette and Guingyard Bridge 💪🏻🙏❤️🔥😳
Wast of time
Looks to me like this pole was hit! Not a "leaning utility pole", it's a BROKEN one. A bit disconcerting that a citizen can tell you more from the picture than a police officer can. Truth in posting *is* important when dealing with your citizens. We had enough LIES during COVID.
Janet Strohecker Why so hateful? They never said that the pole wasn't hit. It's leaning for whatever the reason. Sounds like someone wants to start something. Hope your day got better after this posting.
