Two men were arrested for stealing a catalytic converter in Cameron.
Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said deputies arrested Caleb Purvis, 35, and Spencer Dowd, 31, on Monday after a report of a larceny came into the sheriff’s office.
The alleged crime took place in the 400 block of U.S. Highway 1 Business.
“Once Deputies arrived on scene, they found that a catalytic converter had been cut and removed from a vehicle,” said Fields in a news advisory.
Following a brief investigation, the suspects were arrested.
Purvis, of Aberdeen, was charged with larceny of motor vehicle parts, injury to personal property, injury to property/obtaining nonferrous metals, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was placed at the Moore County Detention Center under a $50,000 secured bond.
Dowd, of Cameron, was placed under a $25,000 secured bond and charged with felony accessory after larceny and injury to property/obtaining nonferrous metals.
Both suspects are due in court on March 25 and are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
