Yavapai County Sheriff's Office deputies apprehended two individuals suspected in a large-scale diesel fuel theft. The incident occurred on May 22, when multiple gas stations in Seligman reported a substantial loss of over 2,000 gallons of diesel.

Further investigation of a nearby hotel room revealed a credit card skimmer, multiple stolen credit cards, and tools used in burglaries.

Information regarding this suspect is being sought by the Sheriff's Office.
