Twinsburg -- Two drivers were charged with theft March 18 after an Aurora Road gas station manager reported they stole more than $80 in gasoline.

The station manager reported that two vehicles pulled up to gas pumps, and the drivers, both 20-year-old Aurora men, appeared to know each other, according to the manager.

Both suspects pumped their gas and then drove off at the same time without paying. One suspect stole $47.17 worth of gas and the second suspect stole $36.01 worth.

Security cameras could only clearly show the license plate of one vehicle, according to police. After an investigation, the officer was able to locate the two suspects in the afternoon.

Both were charged with first-degree misdemeanor theft and were given a court date of March 25.
