A thief and his accomplices learned a lesson the hard way when a woman drove over a man who was trying to steal her catalytic converter and killed him. The woman said she was asleep in her truck when she was awoken by the sound of the theft in progress.
She put the car in reverse and tried to get away but ran over the thief who was trying to saw off her catalytic converter. She called 911. The thief was pronounced dead at the hospital. The cops arrested his three accomplices.
The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department said in a statement: “On Tuesday, February 14, 2023, at 5:56 p.m., Palmdale Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a retail parking lot located on the 39000 block of 10th Street West, Palmdale regarding a Grand Theft in progress/person down call for service.
“Upon arriving at the scene, deputies saw a 4×4 Ford Excursion partially backed out of one of the parking stalls, and another smaller vehicle in the parking stall next to it.
