TOLEDO, Wash. - Authorities in Washington said they have arrested a man on theft and burglary charges after being caught with dozens of stolen catalytic converters.
The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to reports of someone entering a business and stealing 26 catalytic converters off of new trucks during the overnight hours on July 13., surveillance footage showed a man, later identified as 38-year-old Jesse Vaidabid Jr., leaving the business through a fence with the converters in a garbage can.
Authorities said the Washington State Patrol later identified a vehicle similar to the one seen in Lewis County in Cowlitz County and found Vaidabid Jr. cutting another catalytic converter off a car. According to the sheriff’s office, Vaidabid Jr. was taken into custody, and a search warrant for his vehicle led to the recovery of the 26 stolen catalytic converters.
Authorities report the 38-year-old is facing charges of second-degree burglary and first-degree theft.
