A multi-agency raid in the East Bay dismantled a statewide fuel theft ring, uncovering stolen fuel being illegally resold and stored unsafely.

A multi-agency law enforcement operation across the East Bay, led by the Greenfield Police Department and involving the FBI and local agencies, dismantled a suspected statewide fuel theft ring centered in Oakland. Raids targeted locations in Oakland, San Leandro, and Richmond, following an initial arrest in Greenfield, with authorities uncovering evidence of stolen fuel being illegally resold and stored unsafely. The investigation, focused on bypassing pump security and posing public safety risks, remains ongoing, with officials urging the public to report suspicious activity. The operation was strictly criminal and not related to immigration enforcement.
