Early Friday morning in North Texas thieves in a pickup and box truck hit up a Chevron station and made off with around 1,500 gallons fuel.
The value is estimated at around $5,000.
The owner believe the thieves used some type of “new technology” to activate the pumps.
"This is supposed to be a nice city. You don’t expect that kind of stuff here," said Isaiah Herrera, whose family runs the gas station, along with the H Express store. "We saw them just going around in circles, just doing weird things that no one would do," Isaiah Herrera said.
When they showed up Friday morning, they noticed the gas wasn’t pumping normally.
"We were like, what’s wrong?" Herrera said.
They checked the inventory and noticed about 1,500 gallons missing from their underground diesel fuel and gas tanks, then they checked the cameras.
"I was hoping they were just customers, you know?" Herrera said.
Just after 1:30 a.m. Friday, surveillance footage shows a large box truck pulling up to a pump on one side of the station.
Minutes later, a white pickup truck pulled up on the opposite side of the same pump…
The station is now considering turning off the pumps overnight to stop this from happening in the future.”
