The MP for Brentford and Isleworth is calling for urgent action following a huge spike in thefts of catalytic converters across London.
Ruth Cadbury has written to the policing minister Kit Malthouse to highlight a 455 per =cent increase in thefts last year.
She’s also raised the matter with Hounslow Council after residents across the borough reported stolen converters, as thieves cash in on soaring prices for the precious metals they contain.
