PERKASIE — Perkasie Borough Police are investigating a trio of catalytic converter thefts that occurred earlier this month, as well as the theft of a black 2018 Dodge Charger off East Spruce Street.
Investigators said the first catalytic converter theft was reported just after 8 a.m. on Dec. 2, after the owner of a Mitsubishi along the 300 block of Arch Street reported that his converter had been stolen during the overnight hours. The following day at 5:15 a.m., a resident along the 300 block of West Market Street called police after interrupting a suspect attempting to steal the converter from their Honda Element.
The victim told police they were awakened by the sound of a saw being used to cut their converter, but when the suspect saw the victim on their porch, they dropped the vehicle from its jack and fled the scene in another vehicle, believed to be a black Honda.
On Dec. 4, police were dispatched to the 500 block of Vine Street at 12:38 p.m. for a report of a catalytic converter being stolen from a Honda that was parked on the street. Investigators said the theft occurred sometime between 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 2 and the morning of Dec. 3.
In addition to the catalytic converter thefts, police are also investigating the theft of the Dodge Charger that was parked in a private driveway. Police said the vehicle was stolen sometime after 5 p.m. on Dec. 5, and the driver’s-side window was smashed out to enable entry into the vehicle.
Anyone with information about the four incidents is asked to contact the Perkasie Borough Police Department at 215-257-6876. Tips can also be submitted electronically and anonymously here.
