The cat is out of the bag as the cat crusaders recover an additional 86 stolen catalytic converters.
On Tuesday, February 8, 2022, the AV Cat Crusaders conducted an operation in the 45600 block of 23rd Street West in the City of Lancaster.
Two male adults were arrested, cited, and released in connection with being in possession of 86 stolen catalytic converters.
The AV Cat Crusaders is a joint task force comprised of detectives from both Lancaster Sheriff’s Station and Palmdale Sheriff’s Station, as well as the Taskforce for Regional Auto Theft Prevention team (TRAP).
