A San Jose metal scrapyard accused of trading in stolen catalytic converters and “fueling a rise” in property crimes in the South Bay has reached a $2,500 settlement with the city following an undercover operation dubbed “Cat Scratch Thiever.”
Tung Tai Group and its owner, Joseph Chen, faced a public nuisance shut-down order from the city starting in February 2022 after police targeted the business while investigating catalytic converter theft rings. A parallel criminal investigation filed against Chen was dropped because of insufficient evidence.
