The search is on for two people who stole some pricey catalytic converters from a Lee County business, costing the company $15,000 in repairs.
The stolen converters sell for hundreds of dollars and likely end up for sale online because there are a lot of regulations in place at reputable scrap metal places.
If you know what you’re doing, you can saw the parts off under trucks quickly and easily. Three trucks at Access Medical Equipment, a division of Lee Health, were hit Sunday morning.
Video from the business shows two people get out of an SUV, put on gloves, and get to work stealing the catalytic converters off those trucks.
