  Nice job by the Cicero Police:
CICERO – Cicero police have charged two men with felony charges in connection with a spree of catalytic converter thefts in the community.

Ricky Foster, of the 10000 block of South Eberhart Avenue, Chicago, was charged with felony theft and possession of burglary tools after he was stopped with 13 catalytic converters in his possession, according to a news release from police.

A juvenile offender who was in the company of Foster was also charged.

Foster 's arrest followed a lengthy surveillance and bait car operation conducted by the patrol, tactical, and detective divisions of the Cicero Police Department. The surveillance operation was started in response to the high number of catalytic converter thefts occurring in Cicero and surrounding cities. Surveillance continues at multiple locations within the town and at multiple scrap recycling centers in surrounding municipalities, according to the release.

Cicero officials said that have seen a trend of thieves targeting catalytic converters in vehicles and there has been an upswing of the thefts in many suburban communities.

Cicero police officials issued an alert to residents that the thefts were taking place in Cicero and in Berwyn, Stickney and Chicago.
