Two men from Pikeville have pleaded guilty to numerous catalytic converter thefts.
Chris Parsons and David Parsons were arrested back in October after a Pikeville Police Officer spotted a suspicious car in the parking lot of the Pikeville Medical Center. Inside the car officers found five catalytic converters and tools to remove the converters.
Police believe the men are responsible for a series of catalytic converter thefts in Pike and Floyd Counties.
Prosecutors told a local paper that there have been no reported thefts in Pikeville since the men were arrested.
According to the paper, both men were charged with being persistent felony offenders. David Parson will have to serve a minimum of 10 years before he is eligible for parole. Chris Parson will have to serve at last 20 percent of his sentence.
