CAMOUFLAGED TRUCK * Mexico: To transport stolen fuel
* Guanajuato - Thieves build tunnel, camouflaged trucks to steal oil
-- Authorities in central Mexico say thieves built a camouflaged truck to transport fuel stolen from government pipelines. Police found a tunnel built by pipeline thieves in the same state of Guanajuato last week... The discoveries show the sophistication of thieves who drill taps into state-owned pipelines thousands of times every year to steal gasoline and diesel... The Guanajuato state government said Monday it found a gravel truck in which a huge fuel tank had been welded into the bed, covered by a hatch and a layer of gravel to avoid detection... Guanajuato prosecutors said that on April 2 they found a 15-yard (meter) long tunnel built under fuel pipelines... The tunnel allowed thieves to drill taps undetected and transport fuel by hoses to a lot where trucks collected stolen fuel...
