MOSES LAKE - The Grant County Sheriff's Office is asking residents to help identify two men who were videotaped stealing gas from a farm.

Two men were spotted on a video surveillance camera committing the theft, according to sheriff's office spokesperson Kyle Foreman.

The theft occurred at the 11600 block of Road 5 SE, which is off of state Route 17 and east of Potholes State Park.

The farm's owner had a wildlife camera installed on his property, and two men can be seen filling up several small cans of gas before fleeing the scene.
