"Both NBC Bay Area and KTVU were covering the story that FBI agents raided four East Bay locations Wednesday morning, in what is apparently an investigation into a stolen diesel fuel ring. Both reports are short on details, but the Bay Area News Groups seems way ahead on this one, noting that the raids come "amid reports that a group of thieves had set up a station to sell stolen gasoline at an East Oakland chop shop.""
"That outlet adds that the Wednesday raid seized two trailers, a forklift, a motorcycle, and five cars all of which were suspected to be stolen, and that the May raid turned up more than a dozen cars which were proven to have been stolen. Previous Bay Area News Group reporting identifies the lot's owner as a suspected professional diesel fuel thief, though oddly, does not name him."
FBI agents and multiple Northern California police departments executed raids at four junkyard-like lots in Oakland, Richmond, and San Leandro investigating an alleged diesel fuel theft ring. One lot near 4220 Alameda Ave. was described as routinely littered with shipping containers and battered cars and was previously raided in May after being identified as a suspected large-scale cargo theft site. The recent raid seized two trailers, a forklift, a motorcycle, and five cars suspected to be stolen. The lot's owner has been identified as a suspected professional diesel fuel thief, and suspicious deaths involving associates have been noted.
