Investigators were able to identify the female in the photos selling the stolen items as Miranda Harrington. Harrington also had a 2006 Hyundai Elantra for sale.

On January 17, officers were dispatched to Wilkomm's Mobil, located on Washington Ave in Mount Pleasant, for a report of a gas drive off. The store manager told police that two different suspects driving a light-colored Hyundai sedan and a blue colored Toyota Camry filled up with gas before leaving without attempting to pay for the fuel.

On January 22, the same dark blue Toyota Camry again returned and filled up with gas before fleeing at a high rate of speed.
