The City of Houston has recently cracked down on catalytic converter thefts.
An ordinance was approved last month in an attempt to address the 123% increase in catalytic converter thefts.
As part of the ordinance, people will now need to show proof of owning a cut catalytic converter when they go to sell it to a metal recycler.
If someone doesn't show proof that they own the cut device, it could result in a misdemeanor charge for each catalytic converter.
