SACKETS HARBOR, JEFFERSON CO. (AP) -- Police in northern New York are investigating the theft of nearly 1,000 gallons of fuel from underground tanks at three convenience stores.
The Watertown Daily Times reports somebody with a tanker truck and a pump stole the fuel at night from stores in Watertown, Great Bend and Sackets Harbor between Fed. 11 and last Friday.
