Redding Police say they caught a couple of gasoline thieves Saturday morning. At 6:15AM someone reported the pair trying to siphon gas from a delivery truck outside Aaron’s Furniture on Hilltop Drive. Officers got there quickly and reported finding 38-year-old Travis Hutchison and 33-year-old John Gunter with stolen tools, drugs and identity information stolen from multiple people. A theft was reported later in the day that occurred at Lowes on Friday. Surveillance footage apparently showed Hutchison stealing over $500 worth of tools, some of which were found with him during Saturday’s arrest.
