“It appears that the fuel may have been pumped into another vehicle due to muddy tire tracks leaving the area of the fuel pump,” police added.

Anyone with information about the theft or who may have observed suspicious activity in the area is asked to contact township police at 610-759-2200 or to submit a tip via their anonymous Crimewatch Tipline.
