A man from Somerset was arrested earlier this month following accusations that he stole several items, including catalytic converters.

 

Officials say 25-year-old Jake Crabtree was arrested on March 17th via a warrant from Pulaski County Grand Jury. This came as a result of an investigation of cargo thefts, including catalytic converters throughout Southern Kentucky.

 

Several law enforcement agencies were able to monitor multiple locations, obtaining enough information for officials to secure a search warrant for Crabtree’s home. Where officers are said to have found multiple stolen items inside.

 

Crabtree was charged with theft of personal items (over $1,000) and criminal mischief (under $1,000). He was transported to the Pulaski County Detention Center.
