“Dear 1D Community,
We have recently seen an uptick in the theft of catalytic converters from cars parked on public streets. These incidents have occurred across the district, and while they are most common overnight, we have had some occur during daytime hours as well. Their theft requires access to the undercarriage of the car, either jacking it up or crawling under vehicles with higher clearance such as trucks and SUVs. They are then generally cut out with a simple cordless angle grinder; that part of the operation is usually very loud and noticeable. The thieves will often use a truck and operate in teams; the entire process can occur in less than a minute. (more…)
