Thief steals 500 gallons of petrol using unknown tool

Police in Orlando say someone stole 500 gallons of gasoline from a local convenience store, but they don't know how.

The theft was reported on Thursday, but police suspect the crime took place sometime on Wednesday between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. Someone took an unknown tool and damaged pump No. 8 at the Race Trac on West Sand Lake Road in Orlando.



The tool did little damage to the pump. "Apparently, this damage was so minute and so well done that no one noticed it," said Sgt. Vince Ogburn, with the Orlando Police Department.

"Our detectives are going out there to review video to see if they can go back that few days-worth to find suspects or anybody acting peculiar near that pump," he said. Anyone with information is asked to call Orlando police.
