On Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at approximately 6:45 PM, Upper Allen Police were dispatched to the Park and Ride for the theft of a catalytic converter from a vehicle.  Police learned that the estimated time frame of this crime was between 6:45 AM and 6:40 PM on July 13.

Police are asking people to be vigilant in reporting suspicious people/activities around vehicles or the sound of a saw blade cutting metal. Call police right away using 9-1-1 if you see or hear something suspicious.

 Tips to prevent catalytic converter theft:

• Get your converter etched or engraved with your information. Thieves like to steal converters and sell them to scrap yards.
• Park your vehicle strategically, in a well-lit area and use a secure garage when possible.
• Make use of a car alarm system if possible.
• There are catalytic converter theft prevention kits on the market that create a cage around the converter, making it harder for thieves to steal them.
