Thieves caught hoarding $1 million worth of catalytic converters.
nationwide and a huge problem in Houston, where police have received reports of more than 6000 thefts in the first six months of 2022. There may be a dip in the action there, though, since local police recovered a large cache of stolen converters—including more than 400 in one house—along with 2800 oxygen sensors, in a series of raids last week and arrested a group of people allegedly responsible for the thefts.

KHOU reported that the thefts were conducted by a well-orchestrated crime organization operating on social media, advertising the prices for converters on specific car models to would-be thieves."Cutters," or thieves who do the work of getting under cars and removing converters, would drop off between two and 10 converters for sale at a time, according to the news reports.
."It’s very costly if you get your catalytic converter stolen," Harris County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Jeff Thomas said."The main target is the Toyota Tundra. You are looking at $1800 to $3000 to get them replaced."
