BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — Police are searching for a suspect involved in a catalytic converter theft on March 19 in East Bakersfield.
The incident happened around 6 p.m. in the 2500 block of Mt. Vernon Avenue.
The suspect is described as a woman in her 30s, 5' 3" tall, 120 to 140 pounds, with long brown hair.
She has a tattoo on her left wrist and something similar to a paw print tattoo on her chest.
She was last seen wearing a red/grey athletic top, grey shorts and red/white Jordan shoes.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact detective Otterness at (661) 852-7006 or the Bakersfield Police Department at (661) 327-7111.
The preferred tool is a battery powered Sawzall with a Diablo carbide blade.
About 30 seconds.
That’s great.
I’ve always said that they should make an alarm that when triggered by someone monkeying around with your Cat, the tires automatically deflate.
Read about that usage but in the picture of the woman reaching under the car she didn’t have any tools with her.
Not married! ...so green light there.
My 90 chevy 4x4 has a big one. It rarely goes very far, but I have a nice 4’x4’ chunk of 9 gauge expanded metal that I’m going to bolt to the bottom of the frame soon. Barbed wire wrapped around it is a possibility as well.
She might be a dude today one never knows
“What would happen if a dozen of these people got shot, trying to steal these converters?”
That happened at a Joe V’s Smart Shop (Grocery Store) in Houston several months ago. An off-duty cop returned to his car and found them trying to steal his catalytic converter.
BTW one easy way to prevent this is to par nose in rather than back in. If you back in thieves can hide between cars.
True that but where’s the equipment to chop off the converter and why doesn’t the picture show it in her possession?
“She has a tattoo on her left wrist and something similar to a paw print tattoo on her chest.”
Need close up so we can see and identify the paw print.
Execute her just the same.
