Show Notes
Last year, nearly 5,000 cars were stolen across Ireland – making it the worst year for car thefts in more than a decade.
Opportunists and joyriders have always stolen cars but what is new, according to Conor Lally, is the gangs now operating across the country. They typically steal high-value cars, bring them to remote chop shops, break up the cars and export the parts.
Lally explains how the gangs operate and how owners can keep their cars safe.
