Kissimmee Police Searching For Persons Of Interest In Gas Theft

Posted: 7:40 am EDT May 9, 2008Updated: 8:28 am EDT May 9, 2008

A pair of thieves rigged a Kissimmee gas pump and stole thousands of dollars worth of gas over a four-hour period.

Kissimmee police released surveillance video of the scheme that happened at a Citgo station on Michigan Avenue in April. The men moved more than 25 cars through the pump after tampering with the device that regulates how much gas flows through it.

Police say the suspects may have even acted like attendants and taken cash from customers.

"I'm shocked. There is a lot that goes on in this neighborhood, but I didn't think people would actually figure out how to do that," said Veronica Morales, a gas station customer.

Police also released photos of two men they are calling persons of interest in the case. Anyone who has information is asked to call the Kissimmee Police Department.
