Catalytic converters thefts have become all too common because of their value and lack of identifying markings. So, when we’re able to catch one of these rampant thieves in action, we want to make sure to let you know!
Earlier this morning, Monday, April 20, 2020 around 3:00 am, employees from Wave Broadband found three men on their property trying to saw off a catalytic converter from one of their vehicles. The trio fled the scene in an SUV, but not before the driver almost hit one of the witnesses (fortunately, he was able to quickly jump aside).
The employees got in their vehicle and were able to follow the suspects from a safe distance while providing Dispatch with their updated location. Officers quickly responded, conducted an enforcement stop, and apprehended the suspects. A search of the SUV yielded burglary tools and two catalytic converters.
All three suspects were placed under arrest. The driver was also sent to County Jail for attempted assault with a deadly weapon. ~454/493

April 10,2020 2:15am, my son heard like a sawing noise outside. My husband leaves around 2:30 every morning for work. My daughter in-law said she saw a SUV pull away front front of our car. Husband couldn’t go to work, they sawed of the catalyst converter. I live in Antioch! I’m glad thieves like them got caught! Awesome job!

You can’t tell Who is who behind the Facemask especially at night. Just because the world is under Communism it shouldn’t stop you from doing your job
