NO BURGLARIES OVER THE WEEKEND, BUT LOTS OF CARS ENTERED AND SEARCHED AS WELL AS CATALYTIC CONVERTERS STOLEN. Please be on the lookout for cars jacked up from the side. If you see one, phone us immediately. It may be perfectly legitimate, in which case, mechanics, will be happy to speak to the police. Stealing a catalytic converter only takes one or two minutes, so we need a good description of possible offenders and location, in order to carry out a local search and locate them.
