HOLLY, Mich. – An Oakland County man’s car was stolen early Monday morning by a thief who hid in the back seat and ordered him to drive home from a gas station.
The incident happened around 6:55 a.m. Monday (Feb. 27) at the Mobil gas station at Grange Hall and Holly roads in Holly.
A 78-year-old man said he walked out to his car from gas station store when he was met by someone hidden in the back seat. That person claimed to have a gun, police said.
Officials said the person in the back seat told the man to drive, so he went to his home on East Holly Road in Groveland Township.
