Drone Helps Locate Three Suspects in Atascocita After Alleged Catalytic Converter Theft Attempt
Two adults and a juvenile male were taken into custody after an alleged attempt to steal catalytic converters in the 5300 block of Atascocita Road, according to Constable Mark Herman's Office. Deputies said the three fled, prompting a search that included the agency's "Stinger" drone. The office credited the drone and its operator with locating the suspects and helping deputies take all three into custody.
The agency said additional charges may be pending as the investigation continues. The allegations remain unproven. Being taken into custody is not a conviction, and all three are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
