A surveillance video aided in the arrests of two people who allegedly stole money from payment machines March 17 at the Quick Clean Car Wash on the east end of Main Street in Rice.
Charged with felony theft and felony damage to property were Matthew Press, 26; and Breanne Dreyer, 33.
The two allegedly stole $1,000 in cash from the two machines and caused an estimated $1,500 in damage by prying into the machines with tools.
Still photos taken from the surveillance photos were placed on Facebook and resulted in tips from people to the police as to the identity of the two perpetrating the thefts.
Both Dreyer and Press will face court hearings soon.
