Football Fans’ Cars Stripped Bare After Match in UK
Birmingham City fans are facing a surge in car vandalism, particularly “car stripping,” near St. Andrew’s stadium. A fan returning to his Peugeot 208 EV after a match found the entire front end stolen. This incident reflects a broader trend: vehicle crime doubles on home match days. Experts believe organized thieves target fan vehicles, quickly dismantling them for parts that are sold through illegal networks. The lack of deterrence and impunity felt by perpetrators are causing increasing frustration among fans.
