ANDERSON, SC (FOX Carolina) -

Anderson County deputies said they are looking for a pair of men who sold a stolen air compressor to a scrap yard.

Deputies said the trailer-mounted compressor, worth $20,000, was stolen from a Piedmont construction site sometime between July 3 and July 5. They said the compressor was sold to a scrap yard on July 9.

Investigators said a security camera recorded the two men believed to be responsible for the theft. They said the men were last seen driving a '90s model, burgundy Ford F150 pickup.

Anyone with information about the theft was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 888-CRIME-SC (888-274-6372).
