- New Jersey License Plate T-852SC
Apr 21, 2004 9:45 am US/Eastern
The search continues for a stolen gasoline tanker truck missing for more than a week from its owners in Pennsauken, New Jersey.
There are concerns the theft could be terrorism-related, which is why law enforcement agencies throughout New Jersey are looking for that truck.
The 9,000 gallon chrome-plated tanker was stolen between April 8th and 12th. It took a couple of days before the owners reported the theft.
It was empty at the time and lacks the proper federal stickers to legally fill it up, but Camden County prosecutor Vincent Sarubbi would rather be safe than sorry:
"Our office, along with the FBI and all law enforcement agencies for that matter, have to really look into this and try to locate this tanker."
It could be a simple theft or something more sinister, given fears of terrorism.
The tank has "TK Transport" painted on both sides and sports a New Jersey license of
T-852SC.
If you have any information about this tanker call police immediately.
