Authorities in Houston, Texas, are investigating after thieves allegedly stole some 1,000 gallons of diesel from an area gas station, according to the station owner.

Jerry Thayil, whose father owns the Fuqua Express gas station, told CNN this week that thieves stole from the station for three days, getting away with between $5,000 and $6,000 of diesel amid soaring gas prices nationwide. Thayil said thieves came back on a fourth day but were stopped by him.
