A Bucks County catalytic converter theft ring has been dismantled, with the ringleader and his crew sentenced to prison and probation for their crimes.
Six people, including the ringleader, of a Bucks County catalytic converter theft ring have been sentenced to prison and probation. Michael Williams, the leader of the operation, and his crew stole thousands of catalytic converters in Bucks County and surrounding areas. The group stole, bought, and sold the valuable car parts in Philadelphia, Bucks County , and throughout the region.

Williams’ sister-in-law Lisa Davalos pleaded no contest to receiving stolen property in late June. Williams was sentenced this week to 2½ to 5 years in state prison and ordered to pay $124,900 in restitution to 157 theft victims. Bruce, 32, of Sewell, Gloucester County, was sentenced to one year less a day to two years less a day at the county jail. Schwartz, 34, and Hopkins, 25, both of Huntingdon Valley, were both sentenced to nine months to 23 months at the county jail. Lisa Davalos, 49, of Philadelphia, was sentenced to 90 days to 23 months in the county jail, while Deborah Davalos, 52, of Huntingdon Valley, was sentenced to two years’ probation
