Social media fuelling Northern Territory’s 'massive' car theft problem, police say | ABC NEWS

More than 1,300 cars were reported stolen across the Northern Territory in 2024, with police saying car theft is "a massive problem" and social media is fueling the fire. They say for young offenders, "doing burnouts in public places with the name of the gang graffitied onto the side of the car", is a way of gaining "notoriety". Police are urging car owners to take precautions to protect their vehicles, including using steering locks and trackers and keeping their homes secure.
