An El Centro resident reported that the catalytic convertor was taken from her car.

According to El Centro police, an unknown suspect took the catalytic convertor from q 2007 Toyota Pruis. The thief might be able to get $50 to $100 for the convertor but the cost to replace the equipment is anywhere from $1,00 to $2,000. The vehicle remains inoperative until the catalytic convertor is replaced.
