A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device that features a number of precious metals such as platinum, palladium and cadmium. Police say the metals are often sold to scrap metal yards.
Police described the suspect’s vehicle as a silver Honda Fit, with a flat black hood, black rims, a sticker on the rear passenger-side window, a black front bumper, a red sticker on the driver side and red brake calipers.
Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect vehicle.
