The Windsor Police Department has seen a rise in catalytic converter thefts in our area. Please check out the tips below to help prevent further thefts.

**THEFT ALERT** Windsor has seen an increased amount of catalytic converter thefts in the last few months. Thieves often target hybrid vehicles, most common being Toyota Prius'. The converters, which hold precious metals, are sawed off from underneath the vehicle and sold at metal recyclers for hundreds of dollars. This theft often takes place in the middle of the night and only takes a few minutes. Here's some theft prevention tips:... - When possible, park in well lit areas and close to building entrances. - If you have a garage at your house, park your car inside. - Consider installing aftermarket catalytic converter theft deterrent devices. - Calibrate your cars alarm to set off when it detects vibration. - Etch your vehicle’s license plate number or VIN number into the converter. This will make it easier to trace the cat if it’s stolen.
