While the Mazda Demio takes the title for most stolen car in Canterbury, Subaru holds the crown for most-stolen car type nationwide. The country's car thieves in the last four months have preferred to steal Subarus - and it's a close call between the Subaru Legacy and the Impreza when it comes to Subaru thefts. Waitemata and Waikato report the Mazda Familia as being the most widely stolen vehicle. Southern region record that the Holden is their most stolen vehicle for 2017 from 1st January till 19th April 2017. We all have a part to play in preventing crimes like car theft," said Superintendent Eric Tibbott.
