$1400 of Diesel Stolen
WHO-TV Des Moines
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa Cedar Rapids police are looking for a diesel thief.
Officials say someone stole 550 gallons of diesel from three semis at a trucking company, First Fleet, over the weekend. The fuel was worth nearly 14-hundred dollars.
Fleet manager Ryan Getts says somebody apparently drove a pickup through the lot with a trailer that probably had a tank on it.
Police Lieutenant Chunk Mincks says it's the largest gas theft he's heard about recently.
