Car thefts across the city of Columbus continue with three incidents happening Tuesday morning. Tiffany Hammons, a mother of a teen who has repeatedly stolen cars over the last month, is now speaking out and asking for help.
"I've been begging and pleading - please arrest him, lock him up, do something that's going to make him pay for the things that he's out here doing,” Hammons said.
Hammons said her 17-year-old son has been caught stealing and crashing multiple cars by police. He is also driving without a license. She said she feels not enough is being done to stop him.
"I've done almost everything I could and it’s turning him against me, he's going the opposite way and doing what he wants to do which is turning to the streets."
Hammons said when her son has been caught by police for stealing or crashing a stolen vehicle, they keep bringing him home.
"I think him seeing that nothing is being done is giving him more of an adrenaline rush to go back out and do it again,” Hammons said.
Between January and August of this year, 7,330 cars have been stolen in the city of Columbus. A little more than half of them have been Kias and Hyundais.
Hammons said she fears the threat her son poses to others and himself.
"Since he's left, that I know of, he's crashed five cars. And I reported each and every one that I know of, and he's still out there,” Hammons said.
It's not known if her son was part of the group who stole a Kia and Hyundai found at Krumm Park. The Hyundai had been set on fire, while the Kia was left in the pond.

Sorry, honey. Columbus is now a Woke pro-criminal Demonrat hellhole. You’ll have to deal with your son yourself.
Sounds like a good woman, overwhelmed by a teenage criminal son. Chances are not good for the kid though.
I smell a Soros DA.
Where is dad?
The baby daddy is NOT in the picture which is the problem here
Smart mom.
Exactly, that’s why they call them bastards
Well said.
Exactly.
That’s right.
So do I.
...and the cops catch him and take him home? Mom, have a 2x4 board ready when he walks in the door.
They gave their own gang name… ‘The Kia Boys’
