Resident's call leads to arrests in catalytic converter thefts



Roseville police credit an a alert resident and quick response by law enforcement officers with the arrest of four men suspected of stealing catalytic converters.

At 3:42 this morning, a resident of the Crocker Ranch/Diamond Creek area called police after seeing two men working under a vehicle near her home. Numerous officers converged on the area and took three suspects into custody, according to a Police Department news release. A fourth got away but was later arrested in Sacramento.

Inside the suspects' van, officers found several catalytic converters believed to have been stolen during the night from the Roseville and Rocklin areas.
 


The four suspects (pictured), all Sacramento residents, were identified as Jovi Toua Vang ( top left), 20; Cai Vang (top center), 19; Chee Jeff Vang (top right), 20; and Tou Vang (bottom), 25. They were arrested on suspicion of grand theft, possession of stolen property and related charges.

Roseville officials said law enforcement agencies throughout the Sacramento area are cooperating in an effort to stop an unprecedented rash of metal thefts in the region. Several agencies were involved in today's investigation.

Officials urge residents to protect their vehicles by parking them in their locked garages when possible and to immediately report suspicious activity to police.

It's not only happening in Kali. I was out in Prescott and a Salvage owner told me that someone broke into his yard and stole these items as well.. It's a big thing.

Idiots.  Enjoy your jail time.

This is also been an issue here in MN.

[Sweet_Tears]

how much are these things worth? and who do they sell them to?

$30/ piece depending on what vehicle it came off of, but it does take time in taking them off though.
