Thieves cash in on stolen catalytic converters
Thieves cashing in on catalytic converters By Amber Jayanth | March 4, 2021 at 3:30 AM EST - Updated March 5 at 8:53 PM
CINCINNATI (FOX19) - In the past several months we have covered several reports of stolen catalytic converters.
It’s another way thieves are trying to cash in on quick money.
Thomas Wilson at Blue Grass Recycling in Burlington Kentucky says the theft is easy and can be done in less than two minutes.
“They cut the one end of the pipe off and then they cut the other end of the pipe off and this (the catalytic converter) will just be underneath your vehicle,” said Wilson.
