Six Men Stole Oil Across State Lines | Albuquerque News

Six men are paying the price for a brazen oil heist: between March and August 2025, they siphoned thousands of barrels from a New Mexico pipeline, trucked them to Texas, and flipped them for nearly $350,000—multiple times a week. The operation centered on a Plains All American facility, with stolen oil funneled to a Carlsbad storage yard before crossing state lines. One insider even unlocked gates and hid the thefts from coworkers. Another orchestrated the resale ring, while another managed the storage yard, knowingly documenting the flow of stolen product. All pleaded guilty or were convicted on charges including conspiracy and money laundering—showing how intricate and profitable these crimes can be, and how the law doesn’t tolerate large-scale theft across state lines.
