JACKSON—Two suspects in the theft of a catalytic converter who were caught on a surveillance camera have been arrested, police said.

The theft happened Sunday at a Monmouth Road home.

After seeing an alert from their surveillance system, the victims spoke to the men through the system, the victims told police. They fled the scene.

As the men were pulling out of their driveway, the victims who were arriving home took down their license plate number. The victims then stopped the vehicle and questioned them, they told police.

The suspects said they were looking at the victims’ vehicle because they wanted to buy it, the victims told police.
