Feds Bust Nationwide Theft Ring Stealing Catalytic Converters

Federal authorities have busted a massive theft ring that stole and sold millions of dollars' worth of catalytic converters.

  • 21 people in five states were arrested, with 32 search warrants executed in nine states.
  • The ring was based out of Sacramento, CA - where three brothers would buy the stolen converters and ship them to New Jersey for processing.
  • Catalytic converters are a popular target for thieves because they contain precious metals such as platinum, palladium, or rhodium. Some can sell for up to $1,000 on the black market.
