With gas prices soaring across the United States at nearly $5 per gallon and diesel close to $6 per gallon, authorities say thieves are now targeting the pumps. One gas station in St. Cloud, Florida, reported this month that two men stole nearly 1,100 gallons of diesel fuel. Now, police are on the hunt for the slick suspects.
According to investigators, the suspects showed up at the central Florida gas station in two, white F250 pickup trucks, filling up tanks in the bed of the trucks. Officers say the stolen fuel was worth about $6,000.
