GLENDORA, Calif.—Two teenagers attempted to steal a catalytic converter at a movie theater in Glendora, triggering a vehicle pursuit and the eventual recovery of 14 stolen catalytic converters as well as a loaded handgun and the tools used to cut the converters from vehicles, authorities said on July 22.

Officers were dispatched at about 11:50 p.m. on July 21 to a parking structure near AMC Glendora 12 at 1337 E. Gladstone St., where they located a suspect vehicle leaving the area, the Glendora Police Department reported.

An attempted traffic stop triggered a chase that eventually stopped in Azusa, in the middle of the road in the 800 block of South Cerritos Avenue, police said.

The two teenage suspects fled the vehicle and were quickly arrested without incident.
