Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station has received numerous reports of catalytic converter thefts from vehicles.
Catalytic converters are part of the vehicle’s emission-control system that contain precious metals which thieves sell the converters to metal recyclers. The recyclers then extract the precious metals and resell it. Detectives are investigating these thefts and are seeking the public’s help in identifying possible suspects committing these crimes.

This is problem going back a couple years. They love Toyota Trucks for the easy location of the converter.
They loved my Toyota pickup. Mine was stolen April 9. Sheriffs also said they love Toyota Sequoias.
My friend has had hers stolen twice at the Newhall Metrolink station.
