Manhattan Beach Offers Free Catalytic Converter Etching For Residents

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — Due to rising cases of catalytic converters being stolen in Manhattan Beach, police are hosting a catalytic converter etching event this Saturday.

At the event on June 22, Manhattan Beach Police Department officers will engrave license plate numbers onto catalytic converters. Residents were instructed to go to Kinecta Federal Credit Union at 1440 Rosecrans Ave.

Etchings on catalytic converters make investigations easier for law enforcement when they are reported stolen. It also makes it harder for thieves to sell the stolen part, authorities said.

Residents with questions may contact Officer Borello at 310-802-5284 or jborello@manhattanbeach.gov.
