Residents began noticing the air conditioning units weren't working and mechanics found the drained Freon.

Police don't know why the units were drained, but if the person were re-using the chemical, it would require special equipment to remove it.

In one of the cases, the condenser also was taken.

Air conditioning experts say the Freon could have been taken and used for huffing.

Police say they have no suspects.
