Community sports minibus targeted by catalytic converter thieves in Scarborough

North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and information about a theft of a catalytic converter in Scarborough.

It happened at Scarborough Leisure Village at the top of Ashburn Road between 23 October and 6 November.

A 17-seater Scarborough football scholarship van was targeted.

Catalytic converters are sometimes cut off a vehicle’s exhaust by thieves to sell as second-hand parts or as scrap, as both items have a high value.

We are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

In particular, we are appealing for information about who committed this crime, or the whereabouts of the stolen property.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should email [email protected]
