SOUTH MISSISSIPPI (WLOX) - Catalytic converter theft is a growing problem across the country, including in South Mississippi. These thefts are on the rise because there’s a lot of money for criminals to make from these crimes.
Catalytic converters are designed to act as a line of defense against harmful exhaust system emissions by turning pollutants into harmless gasses, according to Cars.com. Thieves target catalytic converters because they contain precious metals, like platinum, palladium or rhodium, that are valuable to metal dealers. They can sell them to scrap yards for up to $200.
