Investigators with the Carlsbad Police Department said the theft spree has targeted newer-model Jeeps across the region, with at least 12 vehicles stolen since August 2025. Most of the thefts occurred under the cover of darkness during late-night hours.
The crime wave flared up again in early May when two more Jeeps were reported stolen in Carlsbad, prompting investigators to intensify efforts to track down those responsible.
