Rise in thefts of catalytic converters with two specific car models targeted – assess risk

– Avoid parking half on the pavement, half on the road, as this may provide thieves with easier access to the underside of your vehicle

– Park your vehicle in a locked garage whenever possible

– Try to park in busy, well-lit areas, or areas covered by CCTV

– Ask your garage to tell you your catalytic converter’s serial number, and make a note of it
