A 40-year-old Deltona man was arrested after allegedly using a high-powered magnet to bypass fuel pump controls and steal over $1,500 worth of diesel fuel from local Circle K stations, an arrest affidavit said.
Surveillance footage, license plate reader data, and a tip from loss prevention tied Lara’s Dodge Ram truck to multiple fuel thefts in Deltona and DeLand.
