Jerry Thayil believes the thieves used a van with a trap door and hose to siphon out the diesel fuel.
More than 1,000 gallons of fuel were stolen from underground tanks over the course of three days, a family-owned gas station said.
The theft comes amid ongoing economic sanctions against Russia and inflation that have caused gas prices in the U.S. to soar to historic levels. The average price for a gallon of diesel fuel in Texas is currently $4.96, according to AAA, up from $3.61 a month ago. "At first we were like, I wonder what he's doing there because we didn't see anyone get out of the vehicle, but then we realized there's probably a trap door inside the vehicle and he's pumping like that," Thayil told KPRC.Thayil said that he noticed the van on Friday, seemingly attempting to rob the tanks for the fourth time. He ran out to confront them, as was observed by KPRC on surveillance footage, but the van sped away.
