Hard times for everyone, and it’s been more than two years now. Indeed, precisely with the beginning of the war in Ukraine, fuel prices rose sharply, then a barrel of oil cost 140 dollars. The situation has improved slightly since then, but gas prices remain very high. Which clearly complicates the life of motorists, sometimes forced reduce your personal trips, to try to save money. But, unfortunately, this is not enough for many drivers who are struggling to make ends meet.

Amazing flight

Unfortunately, this very difficult situation for everyone also encourages some to do things that are prohibited by law. Indeed, the number of fuel thefts has increased across France in recent months. And we are going to tell you a story, unusual to say the least. The last one took place on Sunday, December 3, in Mo. It was around 9:15 p.m. when police officers on patrol caught two people pumping the tank of a truck. They then notify the BAC who found the car at the foot of the building.

They wanted to return it

The latter belongs to the company for which the two thieves work get out with canisters of gasoline. The police then arrested the individuals, who denied the facts, claiming that they had simply put the bowl in the truck. However, the tank was indeed empty, but the two thieves left enough fuel to return the car to their boss. They were finally taken into custody and must appear in court.
