Teen Cat Thieves Catalytic Converters | St. Louis News

A 19-year-old cat named Tyrin Simpson is facing serious charges after allegedly stealing six catalytic converters across St. Louis City between May and June, with tools—including a Sawzall—found in his car and his phone pinging at crime scenes. Authorities caught him ditching a vehicle packed with freshly stolen parts, and he admitted to taking one converter, claiming he was just trying to flip them for cash. The thefts have left car owners stranded and financially hit, sparking community unease. Simpson is currently jailed without bond, with court dates scheduled for later this month and early August as the case unfolds.
