  • 3 arrested for catalytic converter theft: Delta Police

Delta Police say they have arrested three suspects who stole multiple catalytic converters from vehicles in the city.

Police say officers made the arrest on June 8 after observing the suspects stealing a catalytic converter.

After pulling over and arresting the suspects, police found four such stolen devices — valued for the small quantities of precious metals they contain — in the suspects' vehicle.

Police say Delta has seen 144 reports of catalytic converter theft so far this year.
