Feds take down nationwide catalytic converters theft ring. One family allegedly sold over $38 million in stolen catalytic converters.
Twenty-one people in five states have been arrested, accused of being part of a nationwide catalytic converter theft ring, the Justice Department reported Wednesday.
The DOJ said brothers Tou Sue Vang and Andrew Vang, along with Monica Moua, allegedly sold over $38 million in stolen catalytic converters to DG Auto in New Jersey. They operated an unlicensed business out of their home in Sacramento, California, where they bought stolen catalytic converters from local thieves, prosecutors allege.
A federal grand jury in California returned a 40‑count indictment, charging nine of the defendants with conspiracy to transport stolen catalytic converters, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and other related charges. Meanwhile, a federal grand jury in Oklahoma returned a 40-count indictment against 13 defendants in the case.
