FOWLERVILLE, Mich (WJRT) – Police in Fowlerville are warning people about a scam at a local gas station.
According to the Fowlerville Police Department, someone drilled a small hole into a fuel pump’s nozzle holder and inserted a screw. This prevents the safety latch from recognizing that the nozzle has been returned.
