Metro Police are asking the public to be aware that thieves have been stealing the catalytic converter from vehicles in our area. Over the past couple of weeks, there has been at least a dozen reported stolen in Savannah and about as many in the Garden City area. Police believe some of these catalytic converters are being sold at local area recycling yards and contain a very small amount of desirable metals. Police investigators are currently working some very credible leads. Thieves have been targeting larger vehicles such as trucks and vans. Police advise the public to park your vehicle in well lit areas or park them in a garage to reduce the chances of your vehicle becoming a target and please report suspicious activity.
