News release
Back by popular demand, the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, in partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Vehicle Theft Task Force, is hosting another “Etch & Catch” event — a free catalytic converter etching service designed to help prevent vehicle theft and enhance community safety, according to a news release from the SCV Sheriff’s Station.
The event is scheduled 8 a.m. to noon Saturday at Santa Clarita City Hall, 23920 Valencia Blvd., Santa Clarita.
Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to have their catalytic converters etched with a traceable identification number by law enforcement personnel. This proactive measure serves as a deterrent to thieves and increases the chances of recovery if a theft does occur, the release said.
The event is free and open to all SCV residents. While walk-ins are welcome, RSVPs are strongly encouraged to reserve a spot. A limited number of free vehicle anti-theft clubs will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
