SHPD Investigates Thefts of Catalytic Converter

THE SPRING HILL POLICE DEPARTMENT IS INVESTIGATING TWO REPORTS OF THEFT THAT OCCURRED FROM VEHICLES THIS PAST WEEK FROM THE AMC MOVIE THEATER PARKING LOT. BOTH OCCURRED ON THE SAME DAY AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE TAKEN. SINCE MARCH 2020 THE THEFT OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE BEEN ON THE UPRISE AS THE VALUE OF PRECIOUS METALS HAS INCREASED. A CATALYTIC CONVERTER WORKS WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND MANUFACTURES USE PLATINUM, PLAADIUM OR RHODIUM IN THE DEVICES.
