Stolen vehicles
Theft of high-powered Dodge and Jeep vehicles has reached pandemic proportions in recent years, with robbers especially interested in obtaining Hellcat supercharged models, which are popular among street racers.
In 2019, the Highway Loss Data Institute in America discovered that the Dodge Charger Hemi and Dodge Challenger Hellcat were five times more likely to be stolen than most vehicles. This number has most likely increased in recent years.
