Catalytic Converter Theft Up: Palisades Crime Update

Among recent Pacific Palisades crimes was the theft of a resident’s catalytic convertor, a crime that has been on the uptick in Los Angeles according to the LAPD.

“The Greater Los Angeles Area has been experiencing thefts of catalytic converters, machinery underneath the car made of precious metals, that requires your car to run properly. It can cost up to $2,000 to replace your catalytic converter if stolen, and it is illegal to drive without one,” the LAPD West Los Angeles Division said in a notice.
