Catalytic converters stolen

-

An increasing number of catalytic converters are taking place across Sussex.

Police say that the theft of catalytic converters which contain precious metals some of which are worth more than gold - has increased across the county.

As well as marking the converters with Smartwater, police are urging people to ask their car dealers for advice on locks and guards that are approved by the vehicle manufactur­er and tested to Sold Secure Gold.

A police spokesman also advised drivers: “Park your car somewhere well-lit and overlooked, amongst many cars as possible.

“Try to park so the convertor can’t be easily reached - close to a wall or fence and try not to park at the end of the row if there are free spaces.”

Anyone with info about the thefts can call police on 101. as
