Authorities are continuing to investigate a series of thefts that recently occurred in Saxonburg.
According to our news partners at WPXI, several unidentified suspects allegedly stole a catalytic converter from a car in a family’s driveway in Hemlock Court in the middle of the night last week.
Officials also say that a similar incident recently occurred at an auto body shop on Butler Road. Local agencies including the Saxonburg Police are working to determine if these cases are related.
Legislators recently passed a bill that provides harsher penalties in an effort to reduce these thefts. The bill is expected to go into effect in January.
