Catalytic Converter Thefts
***ADVISORY***....We are still receiving several reports of catalytic converter thefts. This past weekend alone, we had approximately 14 thefts take place, primarily from Prius. Catalytic converters can easily be “scrapped” for quick profit.
One way to protect your vehicle is by engraving your license plate onto the converter. Our deputies are continuously working hard to conduct crime suppressions and recover stolen catalytic converters. Engraving/etching your license plate onto the converter will assist deputies in locating its’ original owner.
Other ways include parking your vehicle in well lit areas with surveillance cameras, have bolts on the converter welded shut, and always report suspicious activity in your neighborhood.
