MARION County, Florida- Some long distance truck drivers found a new way to steal diesel, Marion County deputies said Wednesday. Deputies said they caught three of them through a special gadget which allowed them to the fuel of the charge pump. The theft is most common in the South to Florida in Central Florida. Three truck drivers face felony charges of Grand Theft, fraud and illegally using a device. Hundreds of long distance truck drivers fill their tanks at a petrol station, the pilot-75 every day. Administrators believe 99.9 per cent of them are honest, but deputies said that they were not those of surveillance on Tuesday. "And the drivers were a little acting suspects." They were interacting as they were known, "said Jen Fisher of the Office of the Sheriff of the County of Marion." Two drivers in South Florida and one in Texas, which members said bulletproof to open a pump and inserted the gadget, knew each other. "Some sort of type of circuit that criminals plug our bomb to try to cancel our system," said the pilot gas station manager Steve Freant. Freant said that he allows thieves escape the system of payment to that truck drivers could pump free fuel. On Sunday, at 5: 30 in the morning in the same place, five truck drivers using the device and took turns filling their tanks. They stole a total of 1,700 litres of diesel. The shop has a suggestion that would be. "So on a hunch, general manager, Steve Coates, arrived here in his own time." Sitting there, 2: 30 in the morning. Waiting for them, awaits them. It was erected as a clock, "Freant, said." When lorry drivers using the device to steal new fuel, members caught in the Act. Truckers WFTV spoken with were not familiar with the gadget, but they are angry that it is using. He said that "what it does is the unity of the prices most of what is now and give a bad name to truckers," truck driver Corkey Williams. Freant says its bombs have censors warning to the cashier when he is being manipulated, but it is an outside game that helped catch fuel thieves. Copyright 2011 by wftv.com. All rights reserved.
