Survey: Car crime on the rise

Some 10% of all motorists nationally and nearly 15% of motorists in Dublin have been victims of car crime in the last two years, according to a new survey.

In an online poll carried out by AA insurance last week with 6,500 responses nationwide, 3.7% of motorists have either had their car stolen or have had an attempt made to steal it in the last two years. Some 6.5% have either had their car broken into or an attempt made to break into it.
