Gas Gang Uses 'Never-Before-Seen' Device To Hack, Steal From Pumps
Officer Injured Trying To Stop 1 Of 5 Cars

ORLANDO, Fla. -- An elaborate organized theft ring is using a never-before-seen device to hack gas station pumps and steal unlimited amounts of gasoline in Central Florida, according to investigators in Casselberry.

At least five cars filled with members of the alleged gas-pump hackers were spotted bypassing pumps at a Hess station located on 17-92 in Casselberry late Monday.

"One of the operatives (got) out and used a computerized device to bypass the pumps so they could pump an unlimited amount of gas into the vehicles," Casselberry police Lt. Dennis Stewart said.

Stewart said the officers were noticed watching the crime.

"The group uses spotters and one of the spotters discovered the officers and went over and stuck her head in a window to determine that they were officers," Stewart said.

The woman then signaled the other vehicles, police said.

1. They steal from us--we steal from them.

Unfortunately it's the station owner--not the oil company--who takes the loss.


Where can I get me one of those "devices"? :evilgrin:
