DETROIT (WXYZ) — "When I saw the mice in there, I was shocked," said Anthony Bell who took video of what appears to be a mouse running inside the food and beverage cooler of the BP Gas station on West Warren at Evergreen on Detroit's west side.
Bell took video of one mouse but said he actually saw two.
Bell, who likes going to the gas station because it's near his barber shop, said he took the video several days ago in hopes of management handling the problem properly, but when it seemed the owner disregarded his concerns, Bell posted the video on Facebook.
7 Action News went to the gas station where a manager lied by claiming our crew must be at the wrong gas station because some of the items seen in the video were not in the same place.
But reporter Kimberly Craig and photographer Danny Stricker soon realized that there were small details including two small white stains on the coolers that remained the same, proving that it was the same store in the video, and that some items had been moved around perhaps as an attempt to make it look like a different store once store workers realized Bell's video had been posted to Facebook.
