A suspected catalytic converter thief was caught in the act Thursday and attempted to flee from the scene in Mountlake Terrace, taking police on a chase.
Police say the regional manager of the Vineyard Park, a retirement community in Mountlake Terrace, witnessed a man jacking up an unoccupied car and confronted the man.
When the suspect got into his car, the manager tried to prevent the man from leaving by standing in front of the car, but the suspect accelerated towards the manager and the manager ended up on the hood.
