## Resource

A Florida man allegedly used a powerful magnet to steal over 300 gallons of diesel fuel from Circle K stations across Central Florida, totaling more than $1,500 in unpaid fuel. Surveillance caught a white Dodge Ram truck with a person standing by the open door before driving off — license plate readers eventually linked it to a 40-year-old suspect from Deltona. Police found the magnet, tampering tools, and an empty auxiliary tank in his truck. Authorities are now investigating similar magnet-based thefts in Ocala and Sanford, suggesting this scheme is spreading. The suspect now faces felony charges including grand theft and tampering with fuel equipment — a bizarre case where old-school theft meets high-tech surveillance.
