Car-related crimes have been an issue across the Bay Area recently, notably with the theft of catalytic converters. APD said it has been working to address these crimes, including stopping an in-progress catalytic converter theft.
APD listed several tips on Facebook to reduce the chance of one of these crimes happening to you:
- Avoid parking in secluded and poorly lit areas.
- Install an anti-theft device on your catalytic converter.
