YCSO Looking For Two Suspects In The Theft Of Nearly 64-Hundred Dollars In Gas In Peeples Valley

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating suspects in a high dollar gas theft from the Mountainaire Gas State in Peeples Valley. Officials say in the last evening hours of Sunday and into early Monday morning, one of the suspects broke into two of the pumps, disabling the device that monitors how much fuel is dispensed. When pumps are tampered with like this, people can pump out a large quantity of fuel that doesn’t register as being pumped. Two suspects the proceeded to fill three different trucks with diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline. The first two trucks were described as a silver flatbed and a white dually. Then the suspects pulled a red pickup truck and filled up. The estimated loss in gas was $6,390 and it cost the station owner around three-thousand dollars to repair the pump. Yavapai Silent Witness is offering up to $600 reward for information leading to an arrest, or arrests in this case. Anyone with information is asked to call Yavapai Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232 or submit a tip at yavapaisw.com.
