A spokesperson from the Floyd County Jail said three people accused of stealing catalytic converters from automobiles remain incarcerated on a $ 50,000 full cash bond.

The accused are 43 year-old Lowell Castle of Garrett, Regina Castle , 21, of Arkansas Creek and Ronald Spurlock, 29, of Rainelle, West Virginia.

A police officer from the Prestonsburg Police Department saw the trio attempting to cut off a converter from a vehicle on the Speedway parking lot.

Police recovered two converters and tools used in the alleged crimes.

Police in Prestonsburg have responded to about 15 complaints over the last several weeks.

Stolen converters are used for recycling and can bring in about $ 100 each. According to some victims the cost to replace them range between $ 300 to $ 600
