Akron police are asking for help in finding thieves who stole catalytic converters from eight vans in the parking lot of JBM Inc. at 1210 Kelly Ave.
Thieves stole the converters — with a total value of about $4,000 — from the JBM-owned vans sometime between March 18 and March 25.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Akron police at 330-375-2490.
Catalytic converters — auto emissions devices — contain platinum, palladium and rhodium, all considered precious metals.
Criminals see them as quick cash. They take the converters to scrap yards, which then turn around and sell them to a dealer who extracts the metal.
