Law enforcement agencies all over the country are taking action to prevent thefts of catalytic converters, which have been happening more frequently since the start of the pandemic.
In Palmdale, California, a man who was attempting to steal a catalytic converter from a truck was killed when the driver of the truck ran him over.
The incident happened in a parking lot around 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
A car with four suspects inside pulled up to the truck and one of them got out to try to take the catalytic converter. However, a woman who was sleeping inside the truck woke up and thought someone was breaking in.
She started the engine and backed up, hitting the thief. The other suspects were arrested, but the thief who was hit passed away in the hospital.
