Toronto police say a man has been arrested in connection with the theft of catalytic converters from seven Second Harvest trucks.

Acting Supt. Jeff Bangild announced the arrest Thursday while investigators continue to search for a second suspect. The news comes a day after police said officers were searching for one or more suspects allegedly behind the theft at the food rescue organization. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Second Harvest said suspects broke into its Toronto yard, cut through the exhaust systems of seven trucks and stole their catalytic converters. All seven trucks were rendered out of service. The charity had been preparing for its previously advertised Thanksgiving turkey giveaway. Only two trucks were able to operate Sunday, and the organization said it was concerned about how it would meet demand in the coming week. Story continues below advertisement
