Same Crook, Same Place, Same Crime

I believe we’ve mentioned this before, but if at first you do succeed in stealing then try, try again.  At least that must be the philosophy of a repeat diesel thief in Wilkes.  Murphy’s called the Wilkesboro Police Department last week concerning a gas drive off.  In the report, store employees reported that someone driving a blue 2010 or 2011 Ford Truck pulled up to a gas pump.  The driver left the door open, pumped 50 dollars in diesel fuel, jumped back in the truck, and left the parking lot with tires spinning.  The driver was in such a hurry he didn’t even bother to close the fuel cap.  Now ironically, the same driver in the same truck committed the same crime at the same location about 3 weeks ago.  There was no license tag displayed on the vehicle but police are still looking for the truck matching the description of the diesel thief.
