Winnipeg Police Arrest Fourth in Converter Theft Ring | Winnipeg News

Winnipeg police just arrested a fourth suspect in a brazen catalytic converter theft ring, with Jay Heckert, 44, now facing charges for theft and mischief. The investigation, launched in May after a spike in thefts, has linked 13 separate incidents since April, causing over $20,000 in damage. Each stolen converter can cost victims up to $2,000 to replace, and this coordinated operation shows how organized these crews can be. With five arrests now made, authorities are closing in — and they’re urging drivers to park smart: in well-lit, busy areas or garages to stay safe.
