Dennis Police/CWN


DENNIS – Dennis Police report that in the overnight hours last night, multiple businesses in the area of American Way in South Dennis had catalytic converters stolen from beneath their vehicles. There have been similar incidents in nearby towns. Please report any suspicious activity, and ensure your surveillance cameras are working properly.

On Wednesday, the Yarmouth Police received calls regarding two car breaks and the theft of two catalytic converters. The breaks and thefts occurred in the area of Reardon Circle in South Yarmouth. The incidents are under investigation by the Yarmouth Police Detective Division.

To help prevent the theft of catalytic converters please consider the following tips.
*Consider installing a catalytic converter anti-theft device in your vehicle. These devices make the vehicle’s converter more difficult to remove, and less attractive to potential thieves.
*Engrave your vehicle VIN and phone number into your catalytic converter or paint your catalytic converter a bright color to make it less attractive to potential thieves.
*Try to park in a well-lit area and/or if you can, install motion-activated lights and security cameras.
*When parking in public areas, try to park near fixed objects that limit ground clearance around the vehicle.
*In public parking garages and lots, park near the front of the building entrance or other areas where pedestrian traffic is high.

Anyone with information regarding these cases is urged to call the Yarmouth Police Department at 508-775-0445 ex 2100
