FORT SMITH, Ark. Thieves are still on the lookout for those catalytic converters in vehicles across Arkansas. One theft was caught on video, showing how quickly these thieves were.
At around noon on Good Friday, a thief stole Daniel Smiths’ son’s catalytic converter outside of Central Mall in Fort Smith.
“He called me and said ‘Dad, there’s something wrong with my car…it’s really loud,’’ Smith said. “I told him to look under it and he said there were pieces of metal under it. And so, I told him that someone had probably cut off his catalytic converter.”
