The Bullhead City Police Department will be hosting a free Vehicle Theft Prevention & Awareness event, where officers will provide free VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) Etching. The etching equipment was provided by the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority (AATA) to help law enforcement agencies reduce stolen vehicles.

VIN etching is chemically etching the vehicle identification number onto all windows, which discourages thieves from stealing your vehicle and selling your car parts to unsuspecting customers or chop shops.

The public is invited to the Bullhead City Police Department, 1255 Marina Boulevard, on Thursday, April 17th from 3:30 – 6 p.m.
This year, officers will be on-hand to educate and provide resources on ways to help prevent vehicle thefts, as well as giving away free steering wheel locks for residents who own 2011-2021 Kia or Hyundai vehicles with a steel key ignition (keyless entry/push-to-start vehicles are not impacted). The steering wheel locks will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
