Virginia State Police are conducting the Help Eliminate Auto Theft program which offers rewards of up to $25,000 for information leading to arrests in connection to vehicle catalytic converter thefts. Investigators say the parts are being taken in greater numbers because the precious metals used are very valuable. Trucks, SUVs, buses and vans are most likely targets for catalytic converter theft because they sit higher off the ground, making it easier for potential thieves to get underneath.
