And Finally – A Warning About Catalytic Converter Thefts:
Police have issued a warning about catalytic converter thefts, following 40 incidents being reported across the County in the last month:
“In less time than it takes to make a cup of tea, they’ll go onto a driveway and strip the vehicle of the precious metal and be on their way to the next victim.
