Wellington County OPP investigate another catalytic converter theft

In an ongoing problem, more vehicles in Ontario are being targetted for their catalytic converters.

Wellington County OPP were called to a business on Highway 6 in Morriston, south of the 401, on Monday.

They say an investigation determined that someone had entered the grounds between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.

Investigators say catalytic converters were removed from five vehicles on the lot.

Back in January, several trucks were turned over at a gravel pit in Puslinch and had their catalytic converters stolen.
