Pleasantville Police Warn Residents About Catalytic Converter Thefts

PLEASANTVILLE, NY — In Pleasantville, vehicles have had their catalytic converters stolen in the overnight hours in the past few weeks, village police said.

This follows a pattern from the past few months at least, they said, where communities throughout Westchester County have experienced a rash of thefts of catalytic converters.

"With the right knowledge and power tools, catalytic converters can be removed from a vehicle very quickly," police said.

The Pleasantville Police Department is asking residents to remain vigilant to signs of theft, especially in the overnight hours. "A short burst of the sound of a power saw being operated should be considered especially suspicious."
