Police in Aylesbury have released a number of tips for protecting your car from having its catalytic converter stolen.
It’s after a noticeable rise of thefts like this in Aylesbury Vale, which the police say they’re currently investigating.
They say:
- where possible, park in your garage, or if you have a commercial vehicle, to park it in a secure compound;
- alternatively, park in a location that restricts access underneath your vehicle;
- consider security lighting;
- if your catalytic converter is ‘bolt on,’ you can have the bolts welded shut;
- consider the installation of CCTV to protect your vehicle;
- identify/etch your converter with a unique serial number and advertise that the vehicle has been protected (window stickers).
They're asking anyone who sees anything suspicious to call 999.
