Catalytic Converter Thefts on the Rise
Catalytic converter thefts rose nationwide throughout 2020, increasing from 652 in January to 2,347 in December, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).
NICB says the uptick in thefts is due in part to the pandemic, as the value of precious metals contained in the
converters continues to rise.
