Syracuse Police report major decline in car theft cases
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Car thefts in Syracuse are significantly down, dropping more than 50% in the first half of 2025. According to the Syracuse Police Department, the number of stolen vehicles has decreased by 51.5% citywide. Syracuse Police Department attributes the decrease to proactive work, including several steering wheel lock drives last summer, social media alerts, and officers patrolling the city. The department partnered with Syracuse University's Department of Public Safety and Destiny USA to distribute more than 1,000 steering wheel locks in just one week. 'It's a big deterrent,' Kieran Coffey, Public Information Officer with Syracuse Police, said. 'When someone sees that lock on the wheel, they know they can't drive off with it quickly.' Coffey explained the department consistently stays on top of social media trends and alerts the public of any new ones. He has followed the decline of the dangerous social media trend known as the 'Kia Boys' challenge. The viral TikTok trend showed teens how to use a USB cord to hotwire certain Kia and Hyundai vehicles in under a minute. The department said many of the thefts last year were tied to that method, especially around the university neighborhood, where some students left cars unlocked or parked in dimly lit areas. Syracuse Police are also watching for newer trends — like thieves trying to mirror key fobs on Toyotas, Lexus vehicles, and Nissans — and hope to hold another steering wheel lock drive this summer. The auto theft numbers are updated weekly by police through their online CompStat dashboard, which breaks down crime trends by district. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Syracuse boosts Creekwalk safety with security cameras
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The City of Syracuse is upping its safety for those along the Creekwalk Trail. Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh announced on Thursday the completion of phase one of the Creekwalk Security Camera Initiative. The City said that by installing 20 new cameras at strategic locations along the pathway stretching from Onondaga Lake to Downtown Syracuse, the initiative aims to create a safer and more enjoyable experience for all users of the trail. 'Our primary goal is to increase safety along the Creekwalk,' said Mayor Walsh. 'Security cameras will serve as both a deterrent to unlawful activities and a vital resource for law enforcement, providing valuable video documentation when necessary.' The city also said key locations for these cameras include the newly established Inner Harbor kayak launch and three locations near the Inner Harbor Amphitheater. Syracuse Police will oversee the operation and monitoring of the cameras. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
