The first full month of 2025 is not yet in the books but already 120 guns have been stolen from vehicles in Nashville, 34 were taken from autos just last week. 75% of all guns reported stolen so far this year in Davidson County have been taken from automobiles.
MNPD's special initiative to combat vehicle theft and related crimes, begun last February, has resulted in 1,082 arrests and the recoveries of 588 stolen vehicles and 249 guns.
The MNPD strongly encourages Nashvillians to lock their automobile doors, secure any valuables—especially guns, and remove the keys. Just like guns taken from vehicles, stolen autos are routinely involved in criminal activities, including carjackings and robberies.
