Grant County authorities are asking for information on possible victims of an Idaho-based scrap-metal company whose owners were convicted last month of theft.
Anthony Montwheeler, 44, and his wife, Anita Harmon-Montwheeler, 36, owners of Weiser, Idaho-based Northwest Materials Management Services, were convicted of aggravated first-degree theft last month, according to authorities. They had agreed to remove equipment and metal from the property of an elderly couple, but paid them less than half the value of the 250 tons of metal, according to a press release from the Grant County District Attorney and sheriff's offices. Investigators estimate the couple underpaid the customers more than $10,000.
Anthony Montwheeler was sentenced to two years in prison while his wife was sentenced to 16 months in prison.

The case has generated reports of other customers who said they were also victims. Police ask that anyone with information of other possible criminal cases involving the couple or their business to call Grant County Sheriff's Deputy James Burgett at (541) 575-1131 or the Grant County District Attorney's Office at (541) 575-0146.
