News release
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.
The event is scheduled to take place 8 a.m. to noon Saturday at Santa Clarita City Hall, 23920 Valencia Blvd., Valencia.
Residents are invited 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, according to a news release from the station.
The event is free and open to all Santa Clarita Valley 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. To reserve a spot, to go tinyurl.com/yehtc9d5.
