Eureka Police are investigating the theft of gas from two pickups that belong to Fastenal Fulfillment Center. It looked like someone drilled holes in the gas tanks of the 2022 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 to steal the gas, which was valued at about $100 worth, police reported.
The company’s manager said he arrived at work at about 7 a.m. Oct. 12 at the business, 1745 W. Fifth St., and saw fluid under the company’s pickups. He said he smelled gas, and when he looked under the pickups, he discovered the holes in the gas tanks and a container under one of the pickups that had gas in it, the report said.
He said the pickups were not damaged when the business closed at about 5 p.m. Oct. 11. A cost to repair the pickups was not available, according to the report.
As of Oct. 19, no suspects had been identified, Lt. Michael Werges said. He asks anyone with information about the theft to call Eureka Police at 636-938-6600.
