14 Catalytic Converters Found In Langhorne Car: Police

LANGHORNE, PA — The Middletown Township Police Department stopped a group of men in Langhorne who were driving a vehicle filled with 14 stolen catalytic converters last Friday.

According to the police department, Officer Mark Leonhauser stopped a 2019 Dodge Charger rental vehicle with a Florida registration on Route 1 in Langhorne. The car had been driving 88 mph in a 55 mph zone. The drivers did not have the papers to the lease of the car.

Upon questioning the four men in the vehicle, all of whom were found to be from Camden, New Jersey, the officer observed marijuana out in the open. One man was found to be wanted by the Bucks County Sheriff's Office and detained on the spot. Another was recently arrested in New Jersey for the theft of 15 catalytic converters.

After the vehicle was impounded, a search warrant was approved. Officers found 14 catalytic converters in the back of the truck. Three DeWalt Sawzalls, Sawzall blades, and black ski masks were also found in the vehicle.

An investigation is still ongoing to see if these converters were stolen from the area during the weeks of Dec. 31 and last Friday.
