THIEVES STRIKE DOMINION HEADQUARTERS - Tires Slashed At Used Car Establishment

(10/31/2003)
Thieves broke into a restricted area at Dominion Gas in Grantsville sometime Thursday night, according to manager Dottie Williams.

They reportedly stole up to four wheels and tires from vehicles, jacking-up at least one truck to remove the tires, leaving it on blocks.

The thieves apparently climbed over a fence to reach the company vehicles.

It was the second time in several months the company has been invaded. In an earlier incident, a four-wheeler was taken after a security fence was cut. The thief was caught.

Vandals struck Denzil Dye's used car lot on Route 5 east of Grantsville, reportedly slashing well over 50 tires.

Authorities are investigating the incidents.
