CRIME

Five catalytic converters were stolen from three Minibuses parked at Clubhouse 4 on April 3. The morning bus driver discovered the theft when the bus gave a loud roar as he pushed the gas pedal on April 4.

The theft shutting down two regular bus routes. Repairs are underway and service will be restored, according to GRF Fleet Manager Grant Winford.

This was the first act of vandalism to Minibuses in 15 years, Winford said. In the last case, tires were punctured.

The B bus route is operational, and riders can call 562-4316586, ext. 379, for on-call service.
