Insurers announced a doubling of car thefts in Russia

Vice President of the All-Russian Union of Insurers (VSS) Sergey Efremov announced a sharp drop in thefts in the country at the Barrier-2022 conference in Moscow dedicated to fighting insurance fraud.

Statistics on thefts in Russia collected by insurance companies show that since the beginning of 2022, the number of car thefts has almost halved compared to the same period of 2021.

“The trend runs counter to the expectations of most insurance security experts, who predicted an explosive growth in theft due to a rise in the cost of vehicles, including under parsing for spare parts due to a shortage of auto parts. components on the market,” said Efremov.

Insurers explain this trend by the fact that serious restrictions have been introduced this year on the export of cars outside of Russia. At the same time, the VSS notes that the leading positions in car theft are now occupied by Hyundai, Kia cars and models of domestic brands.
