Catalytic converter theft is on the rise nationwide. Citizens are encouraged to park in well-lit areas or their garages, if at all possible. Reciprocating saws are typically used to quickly remove the converter. Citizens who hear a saw being used at night, or in a parking lot, should call law enforcement immediately. Thanks to an attentive and diligent citizen making the call, and the swift action of MCSO deputies, four catalytic converter thieves were taken off our streets.
