Steering wheels and dashboards in more exclusive car brands have become an attractive replacement. Last autumn, the police noted such a theft and now it is time again: four cars in Ramlösa have gotten rid of knobs or dashboards. The theft goods are then quickly transported out of the country.

- It is not so easy to protect their cars but use a garage if there are or place them in well-lit places, says police communicator Eva-Lotta Hermansson-Truedsson.

Catalysts new byte

But now the police have also received reports of thefts of catalysts from seven cars around Helsingborg and then it is not about exclusive brands.

- There are metals in the catalysts that the thieves want to access, says Eva-Lotta Hermansson-Truedsson.

Catalysts contain several precious metals that condition a high value in the recycling market.
