Police arrested a Clare County man accused of stealing two cars nearly a decade ago and keeping them for his daily use.

Police started an investigation last April after receiving a tip. They say Michael Scott Pergl of Harrison stole a car in 1999 from a Kalkaska County dealership and another a year later from a home in Gladwin County.

Police say Pergl replaced parts on the vehicles with other car parts to mask the theft. If convicted he faces 10 years in prison.
