GARDAI ON THE TRAIL OF THE ‘FILL UP AND GO’ GANG

Gardai in Co Donegal are on the trail of a 'fill up and go' gang.
The thieves have filled up at dozens of petrol stations across the county and escaped without paying.
The drive-offs are carefully planned with the culprits using a young woman to distract shopkeepers before whizzing off from forecourts without paying.
Petrol stations in Letterkenny, Donegal Town, Laghey and Buncrana have been hit in the scam.
It is believed that scammers use false license plates so they cannot be caught on CCTV.
However Gardai do have images of the culprits which they are studying.
