## Caption

The Minnesota Attorney General's Office is currently investigating whether Kia and Hyundai have violated the state's consumer protection and public nuisance laws. And numerous government entities have been urging a national recall.

The mostly middle-and-high-school-age thieves, who often call themselves "Kia Boys," tend to steal the cars for joyriding. But some have been involved in dangerous police chases. Last year, a teen in an allegedly stolen Kia sped down Hwy. 62 in Edina, ran through a highway fence and hit a tree. There have also been fatalities. In 2022, a 70-year-old St. Paul woman was killed when a stolen Kia hit her vehicle.
