Man Arrested In South Bay Restaurant Grease Heist

MORGAN HILL (KPIX) ― It's a crime that has some in Morgan Hill doing double takes. A man from Illinois was arrested Tuesday for allegedly stealing inedible cooking grease from a Burger King restaurant.

Police say a manager caught 49-year-old David Richardson pumping grease from outside storage bins into his tanker truck without permission from the fast food chain.

"It does sound a little bit funny," said Commander David Swing of the Morgan Hill Police. "It's not something you come across on a regular basis."

Authorities believe the motive may be financial. Fuel costs are rising, along with the popularity of truck drivers converting used cooking grease into biofuels.
