Against the backdrop of international tensions and sanctions imposed against Russia, the space of the former Soviet republics is highly likely to be overwhelmed by a new wave of car thefts. This is due to the fact that the import of components to Russia is seriously limited, if not completely suspended. At the same time, a surge in thefts will also occur in countries neighboring the Russian Federation, since criminals in neighboring territories will not miss the “business opportunity” that has opened up.
The longer the sanctions against the Russian economy last, and the later the countries return to the market official suppliers of cars and their components, the worse the situation with black market. Under such conditions, car thieves are not interested in the whole car, but as a source of rare spare parts. The worse things get on the automotive market, the more car models will fall under the scope of criminal elements.
So far, according to Russian experts, only two models fall into the sphere of increased “demand”. Worst of all, both cars are representatives of the mass segment and are in great demand among Russians in both the primary and secondary markets. Actually, the popularity of these models among the population predictably makes them so popular with car thieves.
