Five people have been arrested in a spate of catalytic converter thefts in Bessemer and surrounding areas.
Bessemer police on Monday announced charges against David Oglesby, 27, Ricky Miller, 30, Amanda King, 32, James Erwin, 38, and Rachel Hyde, 40.
The accused thieves, said Bessemer police Lt. Christian Clemons, are targeting car lots, church vans and any other place where cars are left unattended. Investigators said they don’t believe the suspects were working together as a group, but said the thefts shed light on an ongoing crime in the area. Catalytic converters, which contain platinum, are stolen and sold for scrap, authorities say.
