(Thieves strike again).. More Catalytic Converters have been reported stolen.

This week, thieves targeted four vehicles. One near Imperial and three in the Holtville area. Catalytic Converter Theft is a serious problem in Imperial County, as well as other Counties around the state, specifically Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The Catalytic Converters contain a precious metal and thieves can easily sell them on the black market. Unfortunately, it costs victims up to $2,000 to replace the stolen items.
