Orange County Theft Charges
Orange County Theft Charges
The homeowner witnessed two men acting suspiciously. He went outside to see what the men were doing. When they saw him, they quickly returned to the truck and fled the scene. The victim followed and called police from his cell phone. The men entered the 55 freeway southbound and traveled to the Orange County Fairgrounds before exiting, turning around and heading north on the 55 freeway, then entering the I-5 south.
The victim continued to pursue the men and reported his position. The California Highway Patrol intercepted the red Nissan about 25 miles south of I-5. In the cab, the CHP officers found two catalytic converters and an additional 12 devices along with a Sawzall in the bed of the truck. Each converter is worth about $200 as scrap metal because the converters contain platinum.
