Suffolk Police have been particularly concerned with the high number of catalytic converter thefts in the Hadleigh area. Thieves are stealing them and then selling them on as scrap metal.

At the start of November 41 vehicle owners in the Hadleigh area had their catalytic converters marked so the police can trace them if they are taken. Mechanics at Crockatt Garage Ltd and Ainger Holbrows have been given catalytic converter marking kits so if you are one of their customers please let them know if you want your catalytic converter marked.
