Auto Theft Prevention Efforts
Sunnyside, WA- Through our partnership with the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority the Sunnyside Police Department Auto Theft Prevention Team has purchased 100 fully-adjustable steering wheel locks to be given out to citizens of Sunnyside. To qualify for the auto theft prevention device Sunnyside residents must prove residency within the city limits (water bill, electric bill, rent or mortgage receipt) and drive a 1990’s Honda. Based on data compiled by the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Association the cars most typically stolen are early model Hondas. The devices will be given out on a first come, first serve basis. The Sunnyside Police Department is open Monday- Thursday 7:30 am- 6:00pm. Please call 509.837.2120 with any questions.
