Data reports from the Metro East Auto Theft
Task Force describe several vehicle theft
problems in the area. The main focus of task
force officers is the identification and arrest of
street gang members that operate in the area.
Task force officers believe that most gang
members steal cars for transportation or to
facilitate other crimes such as drive-by
shootings and transportation of drugs or
firearms. The task force also encounters cases
of insurance fraud, chop shops, re-tagging
operations, and false vehicle theft reporting.
The task force has also established partnerships
with law enforcement agencies in St. Louis,
Missouri and the surrounding metropolitan area.
The coordination and joint effort helps all of the
participating agencies target street gangs that
continually cross between Illinois and Missouri.
