Catalytic converter thefts are at an all time high. Wichita police say just this month over 100 parts have been reported stolen. People can bring in anywhere from $200 to $1,000 per part. The department is looking for ways to put a stop to this multimillion dollar problem. “We’re on par in June for a record number of catalytic converter thefts for this particular month,” says Lieutenant Casey Slaughter with the Wichita Police Department. Police say in 2020 there were 541 total catalytic converter thefts, already in 2021, nearly 600 cases have been reported.
