On March 2 at 3:44 a.m., deputies were dispatched to 7650 Ortonville Road (Sunoco gas station) for an alarm.
Upon their arrival, several Breeze vapes and miniature shot bottles of alcohol were observed laying on the ground outside the front entrance door. The deputies went inside but found nobody inside the gas station.
The front entrance door’s deadbolt had been pried open with a crowbar that was left behind. The area behind the business counter was ransacked and several items of merchandise were on the floor.
The owner was contacted and arrived on the scene a short time later. It was confirmed through the gas station’s surveillance camera video footage that a black Cadillac CTS pulled into the parking lot with the license plate concealed by a garbage bag.
Three unknown males exited the vehicle and were observed wearing masks and gloves. Two of the subjects used a crowbar to pry open the door and they all entered. They placed several vapes, cigarettes and liquor shot bottles in trash bags. They were in the store for less than three minutes.
All three individuals entered the Cadillac and were last seen exiting the parking lot heading southbound on Ortonville Road.
The owner stated it was approximately $10,000 in vapes and $1000 in cigarettes that were stolen.
