Police in Versailles are investigating a theft of thousands of dollars from a Midway gas station.
The crime occurred overnight at the Shell gas station off Leestown Road. The manager of the store tells LEX 18 that the theft was committed by their own handyman and that the entire thing was caught on surveillance camera.
Managers say the handyman, identified as Greg Smith, was working on ceiling fixtures last night when this theft happened. Smith allegedly broke into the office, got into a safe and stole possibly more than $30,000.

Smith was employed by the Midway Food Mart for about four months as the company handyman. Previously, managers say he took the company truck and disappeared for two days before bringing it back.
Last night, investigators say Smith unplugged a surveillance camera and proceeded to unlock the office door through the ceiling tiles.
Police say after breaking into the safe, he took the keys to the same truck and left the store with about three days’ worth of cash deposits.
Managers say Smith is driving a black 2006 Ford F-150, owned by the owners of the gas station. Versailles Police are actively searching for him. If you know his whereabouts, you are asked to contact law enforcement.
