A MAN from Henley has urged people to be vigilant after his cars were twice targeted by catalytic converter thieves.
Colin Brathwaite believes an organised gang of criminals is at work in the town and selling the parts for scrap value.
Catalytic converters, which control exhaust emissions, contain precious metals which make them a target for thieves.
Mr Brathwaite, 49, a self-employed decorator, of St Mark’s Road, had the converter on his Jeep Cherokee stolen while it was parked in Vicarage Road during the night of February 16.
He has since replaced it with a cheaper device.
