Another pair of would-be catalytic converter thieves have been arrested, this time near Santa Rosa. Early Wednesday morning, a Sonoma Sheriff’s deputy saw with an expired registration driving on Todd Road near Stony Point Road. The deputy pulled the car over and found that the driver, Manuel Solano-Dominguez, did not have a driver’s license and the passenger, Valentin Cervantes-Landa, was on pre-trial release for weapons violations. A search of the car turned up a freshly cut catalytic converter and several burglary tools common used in catalytic converter thefts including two sawzalls and a floor jack. Also found was 16 grams of meth, two glass pipes, and two open cans of alcohol. Both Solano-Dominguez and Cervantes-Landa were arrested on multiple charges.
