Thieves have specifically targeted 2018-2020 models of F150s equipped with a push-button start.
“The thieves are using sophisticated technology to defeat the trucks’ anti-theft systems,” the EPS said in a news release.
Police are advising owners of F150 trucks to park them in a secure location, such as a garage, or in well-lit, high-traffic areas. It’s also recommended to remove all valuables from the vehicle, and use a steering-wheel lock.
