AKRON, Ohio -- Akron police are searching for a possible link between seven break-ins across the city that resulted in the theft of 33 catalytic converters from vehicles.

The thefts, which took place between Jan. 6 and Jan. 13, involved someone cutting out and removing the converters, damaging vehicles’ exhausts, police said Tuesday in a news release.

In at least one incident, a suspect cut a hole in a fence to access the property, police said.

Thieves stole converters from King Benz Auto on the 1200 block of Brittain Road on Jan. 6; the 700 block of Carnegie Avenue on Jan. 6; United Disability Services on the 700 block of South Main Street on Jan. 10; an Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority property on the 1100 block of Exeter Avenue on Jan. 10; 1100 block of East Waterloo Road on Jan. 11; the 2500 block of Romig Road on Jan. 12; and the Petermann Bus Company on the 800 block of South Arlington Street on Monday.

An Akron police spokesman said Tuesday that there are no known suspects. Investigators are working with the businesses to collect any surveillance video, police said.
