It is alleged that the driver sped off with diesel worth over R3 000 without paying.

The Global Emergency RAPID Response & Crime Prevention Team GCF forum posted CCTV footage of the alleged incident, which occurred at Tzaneen Engen Garage, on social media.

The ‘theft’ happened around 20:30 on Thursday January 10.
