Auto Theft Unit

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office has taken a leadership role in the area of auto theft. In the four years the Sheriff’s Office patrolled the city of Highland Park, reports of auto theft went down by 80 percent. After establishing an auto theft task force for the county’s east side communities (Harper Woods and the five Grosse Pointe communities), reports of stolen cars went down 30 percent in the first three months. In addition to catching car thieves, investigators also have shut down several illegal chop shops that fuel the auto theft industry by buying and selling stolen parts.
