Leduc RCMP responded to a complaint of two suspects stealing catalytic converters from vehicles parked at a business in the Leduc industrial area around 4:50 a.m. on Jan. 10, 2021.

Officers then made patrols and conducted a traffic stop and found a vehicle leaving the area. As a result Leduc RCMP arrested two males and recovered several catalytic converters.
