A 60-year-old man who is a felon on probation was arrested for allegedly stealing a catalytic converter in Muscoy, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
On Aug. 24, Central Station deputies and the Sheriff's Aviation Division responded to an in-progress catalytic converter theft in the area of Cajon Boulevard and 1st Avenue. Sheriff's Aviation spotted a matching suspect vehicle in the area. Deputy Underhill arrived and located the suspect's vehicle.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as Fredrick Scott, a San Bernardino resident. Scott is currently on felony probation out of Riverside County and had an active felony warrant for his arrest.
During a search of Scott's vehicle, a catalytic converter was located in the trunk area, the Sheriff’s Department said. Other items located in his vehicle included a floor jack, a grinder, and a reciprocating saw, which are all tools commonly used for catalytic converter theft.
Scott was arrested for the outstanding warrant as well as new charges of grand theft and possession of burglary tools. He was booked into Central Detention Center.
