Thieves caught on camera drilling into gas tanks

As gasoline prices soar, some thieves have resorted to stealing gas in a very dangerous way. One Salt Lake City business has been victimized multiple times. The business manager is fed up, and the thief has scars for his trouble.

If penalties were more severe then crime would go down. The truck used in the getaway should be confiscated and auctioned off.
