The theft of a catalytic converter off a church van was reported to the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday of last week.  A church member from Berryton Baptist Church on Racoon Creek Road called the sheriff’s office after he went by to make sure the van was ready for Sunday and noticed that the van sounded much louder than normal.  On further inspection, it was determined that a thief had stolen the catalytic converter off the church van.  A responding deputy advised that the church turn the incident in to their insurance company so that the van could be repaired.
