All vehicles produced after 1993 must have a Catalytic Converter fitted by law to help reduce harmful gases from polluting the atmosphere.
Police in Londonderry are investigating the theft of £25,000 worth of catalytic converters from a yard in an industrial park in Campsie.
A police spokesperson said thieves cut through a fence to get into the yard. They then removed the converters from 10 vans parked there.
Catalytic thieves just simply cutting each end of the system, removing the CAT completely with no regard for the vehicle.
Corporate fleets are particularly vulnerable because thieves can hit multiple vehicles in a single location, reports of 20-30 vans in a business yard have had catalytic converters removed in one night!
