Catalytic Converters – Reduce the risk of theft from Vehicles
The high prices for precious metals is resulting in increasing thefts of catalytic converters.
Catalytic converters (CATS) have been fitted in the exhaust of the majority of petrol cars manufactured since 1992 and, by chemical reaction, substantially reduce harmful pollutants from the exhaust.
Thieves simply cut the catalytic converter from the exhaust pipe of a parked car and sell them on to scrap metal dealers. More »
Taller vehicles such as 4x4s are vulnerable as the converters are more accessible and because they tend to have larger engines, they contain more of the precious metals too.
The rise in crime is continuing…
REDUCE THE RISK
-Garage your car whenever possible
-Park in well-lit busy areas
-If the car is high risk consider marking the metal shell of the converter with a unique mark, so that if it is removed by thieves, it will be easier to trace back to your vehicle
-Fit a catalytic converter clamp or security cage
Report any suspicious activity to the police on 101 in an emergency dial 999
