SILVIS, Ill. — Sanctuary Church in Silvis, Illinois is asking for the publics help after catching thieves on camera stealing a catalytic converter from underneath one of the church shuttles. It happened while the sun was still up, two men crawling right under the van, cutting out the part.
Senior Pastor Luke Levine says they realized the missing converter last Monday when they fired the van up to take a group of young members to an event. The loud noise alerted them to a problem. They crawled underneath and noticed the long pipe missing. Pastor Levine saying, “They came through the neighborhood behind us and cased out the vehicle first.”
