Police in Griffin, Georgia are looking for a gas thief who drilled holes in the tanks of parked U-Haul trucks and stole around 5 gallons of gas, spilling another 35 to 45 gallons in the process. Firefighters cleaned up the spill and police said, "While we understand that there is a shortage on gas, we also want to remind everyone to exercise safety, patience, and common sense.” Police shared a photo of the suspect's vehicle in a Facebook post and wrote, "So while you're creating a hazardous material spill, for 5 gallons of gasoline and cause firefighters to have to work in the rain, we appreciate you parking your truck behind the KFC where we can obtain a photo of your get away vehicle. Also, the shots of you walking around the U-Haul trucks are helpful."
In an update, police said the Colonial Pipeline is operational again, "so we should see fuel flowing to our area again soon and hopefully not flowing from a U Haul gas tank!” Read on here!
