4 catalytic converters stolen in 12 hours at North Berkeley BART Station

BART police are reporting the theft of four catalytic converters in less than 12 hours at the North Berkeley station.

The thefts happened last Tuesday, between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. That makes 23 catalytic converters stolen systemwide, just this month. Authorities say the converters are targets for thieves because they contain precious metals including platinum.
