New type of auto theft
Thieves are stripping something new off cars in Janesville.
It's the biggest theft of its kind in Janesville history. Deputy Police Chief Dave Moore says a total of 35 catalytic converters were stolen from two dealerships this week. He says thieves can get up to $200 each for the valuable recyclable metals inside. The loss to the dealership can be much more: up to $2000 per converter.
Moore says they're contacting local recycling centers as part of the investigation.
