Thieves drilling directly into vehicle gas tank to steal fuel

Drivers in Fontana and other areas are on the lookout since thieves have begun drilling holes in gas tanks in order steal fuel.

"I smelled gas and I was like, 'Where is that coming from?' I didn't think anything of it until looked under my car and I was like, 'They're getting our gas,' and there was a water bottle with gas in it underneath," said Jolayne Gordillo, a victim of gas theft. "Just the tank itself from the Dodge dealer is $1,500," Gordillo explained."Labor is another $500 most likely. So, around $2,000."

"It's not just a Fontana problem. It's a statewide problem," said Fontana Police Officer Steve Reed. "It's been a substantial increase since gas prices went up, since the beginning of the year."
