Thieves Going After Wheels in North Dallas

Crooks continue to target SUVs in the Park Cities area and North Dallas, where many people have discovered the wheels stripped from their vehicles.

One NBC 5 viewer shared a photo of her SUV on blocks after thieves took the tires and wheels.

She lives in the Greenway Crest neighborhood, where it's possible up to 11 vehicles were targeted overnight Monday into early Tuesday.

Another neighbor on Druid Lane was also victimized.

Experts suggest residents install wheel locks on their vehicles.

Police in Dallas, Highland Park and University Park have been dealing with the recent string of wheel thefts.

Three weeks ago, at least nine different drivers reported their vehicles' wheels had been stolen.

Large SUVs are the target, police say. Those wheels are high in demand and likely end up on the Internet where they are hard to track.
