Drug Cartels Behind Surge of Stolen Vehicles in Texas
 
A rising number of vehicles are being stolen in Texas and driven over the southern border, according to reports.

International criminal networks are behind a large number of car thefts in the Lone Star State, which have surged in recent years.

“We believe that most of the vehicles that are being stolen, not only here in Brownsville but in all of Texas, are being taken into Mexico for drug cartels to use,” Brownsville Police Department (BPD) spokeswoman Abril Luna told Fox Rio Grande Valley this week.


BPD arrested 570 suspects in connection with vehicle thefts in 2024.

In 2023, 332 stolen cars were reported in the city, up from around 190 in 2022.

Pickup trucks are reportedly popular targets for thieves in Texas, particularly Chevy and GMC models.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
