RickJohn management went through surveillance footage and suspect the men used a code to get into the company garage.
Police said the video shows the men backing up to the garage and loading up their cars with the materials. Police said detectives were able to match up their drivers licenses with names on the scrap yard receipts.
The total thefts are believed to be well over $4,000.
