POLICE are currently investigating a spate of Catalytic Converter thefts across the Warrington area.
They are warning vehicle owners to consider the following:
– Where possible, park your car in a garage.
– If your car is at high risk, consider marking the metal shell of the converter with a unique mark, so that if it is stolen it will be easier to trace back to your vehicle.
– If your catalytic converter is bolted on, the bolts can be welded shut – this would not stop a determined thief but would slow them down.
– Giving some consideration to the way your car is parked could reduce the chances of your catalytic converter being stolen – high and low clearance vehicles being parked close together make it more difficult for a thief to gain access to converters.
– Leaving your car in an area covered by CCTV may also deter thieves.
Anyone with any information on thefts can contact police via 101 or online www.cheshire.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/
