An investigation into the theft of catalytic converters in Barrie has resulted in the arrests of two people.
Police say between September 28, 2021, and January 28, 2022, it investigated the theft of 43 catalytic converters within the City.
Detectives quickly learned that these thefts were taking place primarily during the overnight hours and were consistent with other jurisdictions in Ontario who were experiencing similar occurrences.
Surveillance video from one of the thefts captured an image of a motor vehicle that was believed to be involved and through the course of the investigation, this helped to lead police to two suspects.
Police say a 47-year old man and 27-year old woman, who both reside in Barrie, have been arrested and charged with a total of 51 criminal offences in regards to the catalytic converter thefts.
