Police said on Friday that they are investigating more catalytic converter thefts, this time in St. Albans.  Converter Thefts Continue In the past month, mechanics at the Lake Street Auto Repair Shop have installed more than 35 new catalytic converters into cars that have been robbed of their old one. Police said thieves have been cutting them from parked cars for quick cash. There have been several similar incidents across Vermont and New York. Last month, New York State Police arrested a 27-year-old Swanton man, who, according to court documents, admitted to stealing converters in New York and in Vermont. Bill L’Esperance of Lake Street Auto Repair said: “Even private people that are just parking in parking lots or at park-n-rides are getting theirs stolen too, not just the big dealers.” Some dealerships in Saint Albans said that they have responded by hiring an overnight security guard and installed 24-hour security cameras.
