Hamilton Police Department warns of catalytic converter thefts

The thefts are still under investigation, but Hamilton Police offer extra steps to prevent becoming a victim of theft. They suggest parking in a well-lit area, park high-riding vehicles such as trucks or SUVs near lower-profile vehicles, installing catalytic alarms or devices on your vehicle, etch your license plate number or vehicle identification number into your catalytic converter and if you see a suspicious person in a parking lot, report it to local authorities.

If your catalytic converter is stolen, call 513-785-1300 to file a police report. Hamilton officers also recommend calling your insurance company.
