As vehicle catalytic converter thefts are on the rise in New York City, with Queens being in the epicenter, a bill introduced by Councilwoman Linda Lee was passed by the City Council on Wednesday, Dec. 7, to deter future thefts.
Lee’s Bill, Int.759 would create a citywide program to distribute vehicle identification number (VIN) kits to etch identifying numbers into catalytic converters. This legislation will require the NYPD to distribute these kits to the general public.
