Scarborough Community Sports Minibus Targeted by Catalytic Converter Thieves

The Scarborough Football Scholarship van has been targeted by thieves.

North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and information about a theft of a catalytic converter in Scarborough.

It happened at Scarborough Leisure Village at the top of Ashburn Road between 23 October and 6 November.

A 17-seater Scarborough football scholarship van was targeted.

Catalytic converters are sometimes cut off a vehicle’s exhaust by thieves to sell as second-hand parts or as scrap, as both items have a high value.

Officers say:

"We are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

In particular, we are appealing for information about who committed this crime, or the whereabouts of the stolen property.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should email Neel.Seth@northyorkshire.police.uk

You can also call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and ask for PC1442 Seth. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Please quote the North Yorkshire Police reference number 12230213778."
