Thank you for the question.
As I said in my opening remarks, car theft is a crime that has evolved considerably. For example, people who steal vehicles are increasingly violent, and may even go so far as to drive at police officers. They will even attack citizens when citizens locate their vehicles. High‑level organized crime coordinates all these networks. There are more and more cases where young people arrested in stolen vehicles are armed.
In this context, we can only support harsher penalties. Above all, when someone who has just been arrested for stealing a car has to be released within minutes or hours, it sends a very bad message. We've recently seen young people in the news mocking the police, explaining that they had been arrested and released after only a few minutes on a promise to appear. Obviously, when other young thieves see these messages, they tell themselves that there are virtually no consequences to stealing vehicles.
