Gates Police are trying to identify a bearded man who stole a Jeep from a gas station on Buffalo Road this morning. Security cameras captured the entire incident.
Police say the man drove up to the gas pumps in a car that had previously been stolen in the City of Rochester. He waited until the victim filled up and went in the building to pay, leaving his vehicle running. Then the thief jumped into the victim’s jeep and drove off with it.
Gates Police are asking anyone who recognizes the man to give them a call, and they’re reminding you not to leave your car running while you fill up. They say they’ve seen numerous cars stolen this way.
