Law enforcement in Davidson County has taken a step towards eradicating a recent crime trend that has left local businesses who own vehicles stalled in their tracks.
Four people were arrested by law enforcement and charged with up to ten separate alleged incidents of stealing catalytic converters from vehicles owned by local businesses and individuals, including a transport company for seniors.
On July 9, deputies responded to Tool-Time Auto Sales in Clemmons where the owner reported that eight catalytic convertors were cut and stolen from vehicles at this location. The owner also reported that multiple items were also taken from inside vehicles, including a firearm.
