Nashville Standard

The MNPD strongly encourages Nashvillians to lock their automobile doors, secure any valuables---especially guns, and REMOVE THE KEYS.

So far this year, 532 guns have been stolen from vehicles in Nashville, 27 were taken from autos just last week. The total number of guns stolen this year in Davidson County is 678, which means that 78% of guns stolen so far in 2023 have been taken from automobiles.

Going hand in hand with vehicle burglaries is vehicle theft. Automobiles are routinely easy targets because the keys are left inside or made available to thieves.

Just like guns taken from vehicles, these stolen autos are also routinely involved in criminal activities, including carjackings and robberies.
