According to HCSO, District 4 CRU observed a vehicle leaving a high-crime area and a traffic stop was conducted. The CRU recovered five stolen catalytic converters, two saws, a stolen handgun, and four ski masks, deputies said. The suspects were taken into custody and charged with attempted theft.
This catalytic converter bust is the most recent in what has become a growing problem around the Houston area.On Wednesday, deputies with Constable Mark Herman’s Office alleged Max Rowland had a saw in his possession and was actively trying to steal a catalytic converter off a vehicle.Consider getting a catalytic converter shield, which makes it hard to remove it.Lastly, get a mechanic to etch your VIN number on it, so it’s identifiable if stolen.
