Police arrested one of the suspects, who was from Nevada and also towed the three vehicles used.
“Sometimes they have a construction truck, inside is a tank,” he said. “Nobody notices it. Or you see a big one with four plastic tanks, each tank holds almost 500 gallons. And sometimes they have van too, inside the van is a complete tank.”
The video shows that the suspects used three large vehicles parked close to one another to hide them from the cashier. And while they may look unsuspecting from the outside, according to the manager, inside there is sophisticated equipment the suspects used to pull off this heist. The manager believes the thieves pick a pump that is not very visible to the cashier and pay only a small amount to get the gas flowing.
The vehicles are now part of an ongoing investigation into a series of gas station heists. “I don’t know what to say,” the gas station manager said. “Shame to them, that’s it. And hopefully, they arrest them.”The manager said he has heard of at least four other gas stations that were hit. Long Beach Police Department urged gas station employees to look out for truck or any large vehicles that are parked at a pump for a long time or vehicles stopped over the gas intake cover on the ground to prevent these types of thefts.
