Recycling shops across Central Indiana can buy catalytic converters, but according to WRTV sources, a lot of them are going to Edinburg.
WRTV looked into who’s buying them and what local agencies and lawmakers are doing to try and put an end to it.“It’s been going on for as long as I remember,” Maj. Damien Katt said.
“Somebody pulls up next to a car. You'll see a door open, somebody slides out, rolls under a car and within a less than a minute, they can be jumping back in a car and taking off,” Katt said. “There are recycling businesses that purchase these cores,” Katt said. “We discovered that there are people at some of these businesses that are knowingly purchasing these stolen catalytic converters.”
As of July 1, 2022, a business can only pay $25 in cash for a catalytic converter, the rest has to be in the form of a check.
