The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft of five catalytic converters and a battery from vehicles parked at the St. Louis RV Home-Port storage business, 2600 Hwy. FF, south of Eureka. The catalytic converters were cut off five RVs, and the converters were valued at about $2,500. The battery was stolen from a camper, and the battery was worth about $100, police said.
The thefts occurred between Jan. 31 and Feb. 6, about a week after a hole had been discovered in the fence surrounding the business. However, the damage to the fence had not previously been reported because nothing appeared to have been stolen, the report said.
As of Feb. 17, none of the stolen items had been recovered, and no suspects had been identified, spokesman Grant Bissell said. Anyone with information about the incident should call the Sheriff’s Office at 636-797-5515.
