Flagler deputies on the lookout for a BMW with a stolen tag found it on Wednesday evening.

The UCF Police Department will host an event to offer free forensic marking for catalytic converters on vehicles belonging to students at the university, the school announced in a partnership with ProTechDNA and State Farm.

Thieves hit a Sanford company, making off with 36 catalytic converters from trucks at the business, according to police.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office needs help to find the thief who was caught on camera stealing catalytic converters from vehicles in the Winter Garden area last month.

The UCF Police Department said catalytic converter thefts are once again on the rise around the country and they are offering up a way to at least make it easier to get the crucial car part back if it’s stolen.
