MORE thefts of vehicle parts have taken place in Rhyl amid a spate of incidents.
North Wales Police has received reports of another four thefts of catalytic converters in Rhyl. The incidents took place on March Road, Gwynfryn Avenue, Victoria Road and Russell Court.
The thefts come after catalytic converters were stolen from two cars on Russell Court and Vale Road on April 20. Two vehicles in Prestatyn, on Chapel Road and Irene Avenue, were also targeted on April 25.
An officer tweeted on the Community Safety Central page: "I have been out this morning in Prestatyn and Rhyl applying smart water to various catalytic converters. There have been a further four thefts of catalytic converters in Rhyl. Marsh Road, Gwynfryn Avenue, Victoria Road and Russell Court. If you own a hybrid please get in touch."
Research by car insurer Ageas said the theft of the converters made up 30 per cent of claims of theft from private vehicles that it had received during the first three months of 2021, rising from 20 per cent between October and December 2019.
