Fourth arrest made in diesel fuel theft cases
Fox 13
TAMPA, Fla. - Another arrest has been made in a possible ring of thieves pumping diesel into concealed bladder tanks inside their vehicles, then paying the expensive bill with bogus credit cards.
The vans, trucks and SUVs are modified, have false bottoms, and are converted to hide high-capacity tanks. The drivers can make multiple stops in under 30 minutes, swiping numerous fraudulent cards, and driving off with dangerous amounts of diesel.
The criminals turn an illegal profit by selling the gas and put lives at danger driving on local roadways in essentially a moving bomb.
