Three men have been taken into custody for stealing hundreds of gallons of gasoline from two Circle K gas stations.

After an alarm had been activated signaling the station was losing large amounts of gas, the clerk immediately contacted the police. When police arrived at the scene, they were able to successfully detain the suspects, Jared Desanti and George Brabakos. Upon searching their vehicle police found another suspect inside the vehicle who was passed out from the fumes. The man, Robert Jeter, was taken to the hospital where he later regained consciousness.

According to police, the men would stop a white van over the gasoline pumps and then park an Altima next to the van to make it look like the Altima was assisting the van with mechanical problems. The van was equipped with a false bottom, siphoning equipment, and a 450 gallon tank, making it possible for them to steal gasoline.

At the time of the arrest, the men had already filled the tank with 200 gallons of gas, and their equipment was still in the ground.

All three suspects were arrested and booked in the Fourth Avenue Jail for armed burglary.
