Six Pleaded Guilty in Oil Theft Ring | Tucson News

Six people have pleaded guilty in a massive oil theft ring that stole tens of thousands of barrels from the Permian Basin, selling them for as little as $10–$15 per barrel—turning millions in stolen crude into quick cash. One admitted to selling 10,000 barrels worth nearly $900K for just $165K; another moved 9,000 barrels in six months. Two others bought the stolen oil cheaply and shipped it across state lines to resell. All face 3–5 years in prison, heavy fines, and restitution—with sentencing pending and 8 more defendants still facing charges.
