Catalytic converter thefts creating shortage of replacement parts

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Catalytic converter thefts haven’t slowed down in Nashville and across the country and some car repair shops said the thefts are leading to a shortage of parts.

According to State Farm Insurance, Tennessee ranked 17th in the country when it comes to catalytic converter thefts.

“It was bad there for a while and then it slowed down for a little bit and now it’s probably worse than it was even before,” William Vaughn with Midas Service Center on Charlotte Pike said.
