A grey late-model Hyundai Santa Fe is the link to a gas theft in Castlegar.

RCMP have released a photo of the vehicle with its hatch open, taken at about 5 a.m. on Jan. 15.

Police say the thief drilled the tank of a parked pick-up truck on the 4600 block of Minto Road and made off with the stolen gas.

Another fuel theft occurred a couple days later at Waneta Junction. Police say it’s possible the incidents are related, but they don’t have anything to link them.

There are no suspects in either case.
