The Forest City Police Department said they have located multiple instances of razor blades being placed in gas pump handles.
Lt. Brandon Rothrock said the blades These incidents are under investigation by the Department of Agriculture.
“[The inspector] made us aware. … He said that he was checking some yesterday and found some in Ellenboro at a Roco Station,” said Rothrock. “So, that led him to check some of our local stations, and he found one at 74 Junction.”
He said all known blades have been removed.
“If you’re pumping gas, check. Look before you grab. Protect yourself however you need to,” said Rothrock. “It’s going to take some hours of reviewing video to see if we can come up with a suspect.”
It also happened at another gas station in Forest City.
“There is no explanation as to why someone would do this,” he said.

Customer Dan O’Bryan is no stranger to 74 Junction gas station.
“This particular gas station, I’m pretty much here every single morning, because I work just two minutes down the road from here,” said O’Bryan.
He said now he’s going to double-check before picking up the pump.
“I’m not surprised, but that’s definitely good to know. I’ll tell my wife about it,” said O’Bryan.
Rothrock said there haven’t been any injuries but that it is unknown how long the blades have been there or who is responsible.
“With these times — germs and things anyway — maybe wear gloves. Until we can come up with a solid answer,” he said.

The Dept. of Agriculture is responsible for inspecting gas pumps and putting the sticker on them. At least they are in my state(SC). Next time you get gas look and see what the inspection sticker says.
“There is no explanation as to why someone would do this,” he said.
Pure evil.

I’m sure the terrorists know that all gas stations have video cameras to catch license plates for driveoff gas theft pointed straight at the pumps.
Hopefully this turns out to be the work of one stupid individual and not the start of some larger stupid collective terrorist group because the FBI has shown itself totally incapable of investigating these types of things unless they target a democrat office holder.
Lobstermen around here have been putting razor blades in the lines of their pots for decades to stop poaching.
My first area of inquiry as well.
Hi-res / evidence quality video is cheap nowadays.
Eco terrorists exercising the hate that’s been fueled by wef and global warming alarmists.
More peace and love from the tolerant left.
Should be easy enough to find these sickos.....every gas station I’ve seen has multiple cams.
Department of Agriculture in FL issues concealed carry permits…
Could be a disgruntled ex-employee, but probably some wacko enviro-weenie...
Kill em All and let God sort em out.
