The scheme has been done at gas stations throughout St. George over the past two months.

“The suspects will fill auxiliary tanks and cans multiple times in a single day,” Atkin said. “Due to the similarities in the different incidents, there is a possibility that they are related.”

In some of the incidents, Atkin said the vehicles had Nevada license plates visible on surveillance footage.

Anyone with information about the incidents or the suspects is asked to call the St. George Police Department at 435-627-4300.
