Four stolen Kias and Hyundais found around Staudinger Place

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Police say they found four stolen Kias and Hyundais around Staudinger Place off Clifford Avenue on Thursday morning.

At least one of the cars had its windows smashed. Officers responded after getting a report of an abandoned stolen car. No suspects are in custody.

There have been just over 2040 car thefts in the city in 2024, according to RPD’s Open Data Portal. That’s almost half of the total for 2023 — which was nearly 4,000 — but it’s still higher compared to the years 2012 through 2022.
