A Rensselaer County business owner in Castleton on Hudson called police at around 8 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 2, saying three men were on their property without permission, according to New York State Police.
The owner told investigators that the men were attempting to steal used cooking oil that is saved and sold to a biodiesel company for recycling.
