MACON, Ga. — Two men are in jail after deputies reportedly caught them stealing parts off cars in the parking lot of Houston Auto Auction.

According to a news release, the arrest happened around 1 p.m. Sunday after someone called in a suspicious vehicle parked behind the building.

When deputies got to the scene, they found a Ford Mustang that didn’t belong to the business hidden behind one of the buildings.

Deputies searched the auction lot and found a man under one of the cars cutting off a catalytic converter. He was identified at 30-year-old Chad Nolan Roberson.

The search continued, and deputies found 28-year-old Seth Arnold doing the same thing under another car.
