MOROCCO, Ind. (WLFI) - The town of Morocco is offering a $500 reward in the hope of helping one of its businesses.

Jack Willier owns Morocco Car Wash and Gas Station.

He told NewsChannel 18 Wednesday in the past year, his business has been burglarized twice and has had three additional attempted break-ins. The town is offering the reward for tips leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible. Willier said in the past 20 years, he's never dealt with anything like this.

Willier said he is in the process of installing surveillance equipment and will be putting bars on the windows of the store. In the meantime, anyone with information should contact the Morocco Town Hall at (219) 285-2070.
