Three residents in Rydal reported to police that their vehicles were the target of a suspect allegedly stealing gas outside of their homes.

Deputies responded to three homes on Indian Hills Drive between 1 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Saturday, March 21.

The residents said that between late Friday evening and early Saturday morning, someone either attempted to or actually removed the fuel from their respective vehicles, according to incident reports from the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office.

One resident said he found his gas door opened, and the gas cap removed. However, he was unable to tell if any gasoline had been extracted from his 2005 Dodge Ram 1500.

In another report, one resident said she noticed her cap was “hanging down” from the gas door of her 2001 Nissan Xterra. She told the deputy she also did not know if any gasoline was removed.

One man, the owner of a 1991 Chevrolet 1500, said he could smell the gasoline on the ground, but was unable to examine how much had been removed from his truck.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 770-382-5050.
