A Shasta County jury has convicted a man on multiple felony counts for the theft of catalytic converters. In April of last year, 5 of the exhaust devices were stolen from box trucks at a Redding business, leaving nearly half of their fleet out of service. Redding Police collected enough evidence to pin the theft on 34-year-old Garrick Rory Schroder. The jury only deliberated for one hour last Wednesday before returning guilty verdicts on all counts. Schroder will be sentenced in June.
