A lawsuit filed by B.C.'s director of civil forfeiture alleges a towing business owned by Surrey's Jasvindar Singh bought catalytic converters 'with the understanding they were stolen.'
The B.C. government is suing for the property of a Surrey towing business owner charged after an undercover Burnaby RCMP investigation into catalytic converter. thefts.
The emission control devices have a high resale value because of precious metals they contain, and ICBC gets millions of dollars in claims for stolen catalytic converters every year. The director says Singh paid out a total of $12,040 for the 45 catalytic converters offered up by the undercover officers.
He was charged in May with possession of stolen property over $5,000 and trafficking in stolen property over $5,000.
