TDI Towing, a Pennsylvania tow truck business, has been busted for running a multi-million dollar catalytic converter theft ring, according to the Bucks County District Attorney.

TDI Towing allegedly paid thieves at least $10,000 every night for stolen catalytic converters.

The tow truck business had an average of 175 catalytic converters brought in every week for three years.

Attorney General Merrick B. Garland led a nationwide bust in November 2022, resulting in the execution of search warrants and arrests related to a $100 million theft ring.

Congress introduced legislation to combat catalytic converter theft by adding serial numbers and increasing penalties.

The market prices of rhodium, platinum, and palladium in catalytic converters increased significantly during the pandemic due to supply chain issues.

The Bucks County DA focused on both individual thieves and businesses purchasing stolen catalytic converters.

A video released by the DA shows a recently stolen catalytic converter being delivered to TDI at night.

TDI Towing, registered under different names, had employees and family members involved in the thefts.

1. TDI, along with 10 adults and one juvenile, has been charged with multiple offenses, including corrupt organizations, theft, and criminal conspiracy.
