NILES, Mich. — The Michigan State Police Niles Post is asking the public for help identifying a man and woman suspected of breaking into vending machines at various rest areas and a self-storage unit between Berrien and Allegan counties.
Troopers believe the incidents are related because of the similarities in how the break-ins happened and because photos of the same man were seen in multiple places, according to a news release Tuesday.
