A Winnipeg man has become one of a growing number of gas theft victims in the city, after discovering someone had drilled a hole in his truck's gas tank.
Scott Perdonic, who lives in the Transcona area, said he had been off work for the past two weeks and hadn't been driving his truck. On Friday morning, after finding his truck was empty of gas, he tried to fill it up.
"I watched about $60 worth of liquid gold go pouring out the tank out the bottom," he said. "Someone had drilled a hole in the bottom of the gas tank, and I guess drained out whatever was in there."
Perdonic said he has reported the theft to police.
Winnipeg police confirmed they have received Perdonic's report of the theft, along with a number of other similar reports.
"Certainly not enough right now to call it a rising trend, but something that has captured our attention," Const. Dani McKinnon, a public information officer with the Winnipeg Police Service, told CTV News in an interview on Wednesday.
She said with gas prices soaring and some people feeling the financial constraints, it is a possibility that this type of theft may become more common.
