Catalytic Converter Theft Tip Line Protects Residents & Local Businesses

Want to help prevent catalytic converter theft? Call the tip line!

Catalytic converter theft has become a nationwide issue, and the City of Moreno Valley is working hard to protect the community.

Businesses are legally required to purchase converters exclusively from commercial enterprises or verified vehicle owners. Businesses must also maintain a written record of the vehicle from which the converter was removed and maintain a copy of the vehicle’s title. Penalties for violating these laws can potentially reach up to $7800.

If you know of a business accepting stolen catalytic converters, call our tip line at 951.413.3335 or 951.413.3340 or report it online at moval.org/converter. If you’re a victim of catalytic converter theft in Moreno Valley, call the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department at 951.247.8700.

Together, we can reduce converter theft in Moreno Valley!

Pet of the Week: Frank

Our Pet of the Week is Frank, a six-year-old fawn-colored Shepherd Mix. He's an inquisitive boy, but well-behaved and comfortable walking on a leash. In addition to his disarming smile, Frank's ears are almost always in the "one up, one down" position, adding to his charm.

If you would like to make Frank or any pet from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter part of your family, please contact the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter at 951.413.3790 or visit www.moval.org/pets.
