Traffic Stop Leads to Four Arrested with Three Catalytic Converters

On November 6, 2021 at approximately 5:30 a.m., a sergeant assigned to Glendale PD’s patrol bureau observed a vehicle travelling near the intersection of Pacific Ave. and Pioneer Dr. fail to stop for a red traffic signal.

The sergeant initiated a traffic stop and contacted the driver, 22-year-old Dayana Portillo-Rodriguez of Covina and the three passengers: 23-year-old Jesus Lorenzo, 24-year-old Felix Henriquez, and 19-year-old Nayely Duran all of Los Angeles, of the vehicle.

Assisting officers arrived and a vehicle search produced a California Driver’s License, a U.S. Passport, and credit cards and access cards belonging to other individuals, three catalytic converters, floor jack, and two reciprocating saws.

Portillo-Rodriguez, Lorenzo, Henriquez, and Duran were all arrested and booked for grand theft and identity theft.
