Most of the thefts have occurred during overnight hours, police said.

“Thieves target these vehicle parts because they are fairly easy to remove and contain metals that can be resold,” Bethlehem Police said.

Victims of catalytic converter theft will typically hear a “loud vehicle exhaust” when starting the car, police said.

Any suspicious activity should be reported to the department by sending an email to bethlehempolice@bethlehem-pa.gov or calling the tip line at 610-691-6660.
