Red Mazda Parked on Fuel Tank

A red Mazda parked directly over a gas station’s underground fuel tank last Sunday night, siphoning off 400 litres without a single person getting out — and then returned the next night, this time thwarted by newly installed locks. This brazen theft is part of a nationwide surge in fuel thefts, with police reporting a 100-per-week spike since prices climbed. Three separate incidents occurred at this same Rongotea station alone that night. Owner Kim Good, a family-run business, is reeling — every stolen litre means lost profit, especially as their own fuel costs have doubled. Authorities are urgently seeking witnesses or footage to crack the case. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
