Turtle Mountain RCMP are investigating a few cases of gasoline theft.

In early December Police received another two reports of a theft of fuel when someone drilled a hole in the gas tank of a vehicle in the Boissevain-Morton area.

“Someone is drilling a hole in the gas tanks and taking the gas they need and letting the rest drain out onto the ground” said SGT. Jarrid ST-PIERRE.

Police are actively patrolling at night keeping an eye out for any type of suspicious activity. They also ask for the public’s assistance in trying to solve the gasoline thefts.

“The thefts took place in a rural setting and also in and around Boissevain.”

ST-PIERERE calls it a creative way to get fuel and is probably easier than siphoning the gas.
