SAGINAW, MI Police are advising the public of a recent uptick in the theft of catalytic converters from vehicles.
“Catalytic converters contain precious metals that are extremely valuable,” said Saginaw Police Detective Sgt. Oscar Lopez. “Thieves can remove a catalytic converter within minutes and then sell them to scrapyards.”
Police agencies across the Great Lakes Bay Region have been fielding several complaints of converters being stolen, Lopez said. Many of the thefts are from larger or commercial-type vehicles.

SAGINAW, MI Several Saginaw police officers have filed a lawsuit against the city they work in and their own union, alleging a contract change is forcing them to work years longer before they can retire with full health care coverage.
Attorney Victor J. Mastromarco Jr. on Feb. 9 filed the lawsuit in Saginaw County Circuit Court on behalf of current officers Bradley Holp, 37; Roger Pate, 45; Matthew Carpus, 35; and Steven Lautner, 38; and former officer Richard Thompson, 48. The city of Saginaw and the Police Officers Association of Michigan, or POAM, are named as defendants.

Saginaw, Michigan (WNEM) Investigators are hoping advances in a specific technology can provide a key clue to a man’s murder from 1988.
Nobody knows who this is. Nobody knows his name, his age or where he is from. All anyone knows is, he’s dead.
He has been dead for more than 30 years.
“I just find it terribly sad that after 30 years nobody recognizes him,” said David Mittleman with Othram Inc.
“From time to time we dust it off and take a look at it, we attempt to make contact with potential witnesses. Because we would like to get this solved,” said Lt. Dave Kendziorski from the Saginaw Police Department.
