Hundreds of police officers have taken part in dawn raids across the south east in a major operation to smash a network of suspected catalytic converter thieves.
Incidents have soared during lockdown with criminals stealing the devices from the underside of vehicles in order to access the precious metals contained inside.
Armed with car jacks and angle grinders, gangs are able to remove a catalytic converter in a matter of moments leaving victims with a huge bill.
Once the devices have been removed they are often shipped overseas where the precious metals, including rhodium, platinum and palladium, can be removed and refined.Think we have what they want.
