IMLAY CITY — Imlay City Police Chief Brett Selby is seeking information regarding a series of gas thefts from vehicles in recent weeks.
Selby said the police department is asking for the public’s assistance in finding the individual or individuals who have been involved in stealing gasoline from parked vehicles.
