    "SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Twenty-one people were arrested and/or charged in connection to a scheme to steal and sell catalytic converters across the nation, according to a press release from the United States Department of Justice."

    "Law enforcement at the local, state and federal levels collaborated nationwide to execute a coordinated takedown of leaders and associates allegedly involved on Wednesday. The DOJ says that searches, seizures and arrests took place across nine states, including California, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, and Virginia. A total of 21 people were arrested and or charged for their alleged part in the conspiracy."

    It probably will only be a dent but it's something.
