Thieves stealing gas from Red Cross vans
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Red Cross said thieves have stolen gas out of its vans at least seven times in six months.
Most cases involved siphoning the fuel, but on Tuesday someone cut the fuel line of a Red Cross van, spokeswoman Debra Creadick said.
Repairs will cost about $150, she said.
No arrests have been made.
Local Red Cross officials are considering security options, including installing surveillance cameras to keep watch on the parked vans, Creadick said.
