How Investigators Hunt Down Cooking Oil Thieves
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Authorities are warning of organized crime rings that are making millions of dollars by stealing, of all things, used cooking oil. They’re known as grease thieves, and they pull up in trucks and pump the “liquid gold” out of the containers behind restaurants. But the thieves aren’t as slick as their spoils, and they’ve got the “Grease Police” on their tail, led by ex-cop Frank Scoggins. Inside Edition’s Investigative Unit was invited along to see the Grease Police in action. #InsideEdition

*His face when he realized they knew he was stealing oil*
Can you be more specific about what your talking about
List Mist his facial expression idiot what else is their to specify

👁 👄 👁 that’s his dumb surprised face
But was he even stealing? He was getting the oil from a recycling bin behind the restaurants. He probably thought he was getting oil that people didn't want.
How come his face wasnt blurred out but the rest of the thieves faces were? Very interesting Inside Edition.
YEAH I NOTCIED THAT TOO LIKE WTF
I guess he doesn't look like the type that would sue.🤔
Means maybe he signed papers for release? But I find that hard to believe
I was thinking the same too
because he is on police records, and did not sign the "pls don't record my face"
The cops taking grease theft more serious than catalytic converter thefts 😩
I actually feel bad for that man. Life’s probably been rough on him..
Edit: so people seem mad that i feel bad for the man, i dont say stealing is ok, he’s a thief, but shouldn’t we spend our time on more relevant stuff, choose your battles, eh?
Them asians look happy outside but damn ragin in the inside
Same man, i feel bad for him 😭
Oh come on !
I know right he just wanted to get some food that he probably didn't get to finish and had no point on paying it
Since he got arrested but at the same time he did take grease.
trollinghard okay you ain’t had to call them THEM ASIANS you doing to much
That guy looked like he just wanted to get food on his families plate. Life is rough
Fr
Mr applesauce well you never know what he been through, for all we know this could be his only way of making money.
Maybe do it righteously and you'll be good
@Mr applesauce sometimes getting a good job isn't so simple
Oh boo hoo. He chose to break the law and got caught. He deserves to pay for his crimes.
Instead of chasing murderers and pedophiles, Inside Edition is now chasing used grease thieves.
The left doesn't know what to do right now.
Factsssss
Imagine making this political couldn’t be me 🌚

how many flippin bots
Lol
Your man? Like your husband? 🤣😂
It’s sucks he didn’t even get to eat his slushy or pizza I feel bad for him lol poor him.omg thanks for 490 likes
Yea, he is probably working for someone else too
Lol yeah just let the man eat his pizza and drink his slushy u dont know the person so why should u think hes bad he might have a reason maybe thats his way of living
😂😂
After a hard day at work lol
Lol that's all
This sounds like a horrible April Fools joke.
ikr
The best part, is that they hyped up the value so much and it turns out it's only $2 a gallon😂😭
I can see everyone here feeling bad for the man.... and I’m right there with you guys! What if he was told by his boss to do this and had no idea it was illegal. This shows in his face of disbelief when he was just walking away happy with some pizza and knowing he earned some for his family. There’s people out there committing REAL crimes that hurt people and the “grease police” decide to pin down on this dude 🤦🏽♂️
Good to hear the government is spending money to catch the real criminals instead of doing something about the drug epidemic
So is theft not a crime?
@@sethlancaster369 it may be defined as theft but he’s literally taking used cooking oil. its not like anyone will suffer because he’s taking waste that i don’t believe anyone will even use anymore.
@@sethlancaster369 if he didn't know his boss should be arrested not him
Most restaurants give it away
That stuff can be used as biofuel for trucks once it is refined.
Thank you someone who knows!
And we know for a fact GOP wants us dependent on OIL. Many companies sell to other companies to make bio fuel. Recycling is for today and the future.
By refined do you mean passing it through a screen lol i know a old man with a 1970s Mercedes it literally runs on anything .
@@RSR8485 what I mean is that used cooking oil can be turned into biofuel for vehicles when you put it in a refinery.

Forget about all the dangerous criminals on the streets. Get these used grease thieves!
🙄they not even affecting u let them be and pay use it for they income snitch
What if it was your own money getting stolen especially with covid and big time loss of sales??????
Ik im sorry but greese is not affecting anyone 🤦🏻
Can you stop commenting you’re like in every video you’re so annoying
I love Potatoes I wasn’t talking abt you but damn I am lol
This is the first time I’m hearing that oil can be used by thieves for liquid gold
Me too
Not for liquid gold, it's like liquid gold!!
you can still burn them. or refind it to a engine oil... not really worth it right now... if he got 1,000 buck and the trunk cost 30,000 plus insurance and fuel.. he had to drive around all day and only profit for few 100 bucks...
I heard that as a kid
campkira Definitely liquid gold profit
This is the most pathetic waste of a time chasing down so called “criminals”. It’s trash and it’s going to get disposed of I’m guessing so just let someone make a living off of it. This guy wasn’t harming anyone or causing damage. I want my 3 minutes of my life back
True
You clearly didn't watch the video lol it literally says they refine it and resell it....
Basically he's not stealing. I bet you whoever's go pump the dirty oil don't pay for them either.
because the restaurants already pay someone to come and haul it away for them. a legitimate business. stealing is still stealing
Do you know that you can also use cooking grease for fuel for vehicles

Something tells me he’s just trying to feed his family or himself. Doesn’t seem like a bad guy. If my family was hungry I would go steal something as stupid as used grease too.
You're a proud thief? Sheesh. Zero integrity.
@@jamie6387 it’s just grease 😂 who cares what happens to it
It matters not what it is, stealing/theft is NEVER right. It doesn't matter if your stealing used grease or money from a bank, its all the same and the reason doesn't matter. The law cannot say it's okay for you to steal grease to feed your family or to buy a yacht. Same difference! If it doesn't belong to you, it's a no go EVERYTIME.
or just get a job like a normal person
My dude is a smart thief making at least 1k a day.
Bruh I actually feel bad for the dude, he’s not running around killing people
This is a health hazard. These people reuse this dirty filthy grease in foods etc so unless you’re ok with that don’t feel bad
@@nathanhyde2946 to be fair the oil companies do the exact same thing

Then dont do something illegal
$1000 a day is $350,000 a year, does he have 50 kids?
@@rayandaas1695 how do you know he does this every day? Also his employer make a profit on the grease, meaning what he makes is closer to 200-300 dollars.
Shouldn’t start a family unless you’re financially able, otherwise face the consequences
@@allaansnackbar4269
ever considered those whose partners ran away? left them? or that they didn't intend to have children??
Allllll of that to catch a man who barely had $1000 in "used grease" smh
As we say here on the grease squad ...itsa dirty job but im the only one doing it
If you think about it 1000 dollars in 1 day is a higher income than most lawful workers ($30,000 in 1 month) . Therefore, what did guy is doing isn't innocent. Also, he has a fuel truck which isn't cheap. So, he has obviously done this before, and was pretty successful with it.
@@slkjess1206 also, it rightfully belongs to the restaurant. They have it out there to resell, not throw out. If it were there to be disposed of...then I’d understand folks saying “well it’s only 1000$ worth of grease, or one man’s trash is anothers’ treasure”.....but the grease is a source of income for the restaurants, so it’s stealing plain and simple.
Imagine if you stole $1,000 a day as your day job? That's more than $260K in stolen goods. FAR more than the average income. You still gonna "smh" this one, buttercup?
@@ItsMotoMatt who said he stole $1000 a day? This is one of his off days and he made bank, "buttercup"
So they throw the oil out, but when someone takes it, they want it back???
So you didnt finish the video i take it lol
Jose, you can't be this dumb!
@@CorderralLewisit still doesn’t make sense. If i threw away left over food in the trash and someone picks it up, am i gonna call the police? No. Its used oil left outside with no security. This is just dumb
There r murders out there and inside edition is chasing Someone for grease
Underestimating these small thing is why USA doesnt flinch when they learn "just a flu" kill 20k people in their country each year. They become insensive and look at where that brought you now.
That's because all murders get to go free, with the midyear murder sale.
Going on now.
stolen
It's not their job to chase ANYTHING. The police do that. "Chasing" crooks can get you hurt.
@@The_DC_Kid yes indeed
*I was today years old when I found out that grease is very valuable*
Should be it’s a whole country
/s
Well you must not be that old
500 gallon for 1000$. That’s 2$ a gallon. Not bad I guess.
12. You were 12 years old
Lol😂
That guy looked so happy when he got his food, He’s probably struggling with these hard times.
He drove 150 miles all day amd didnt even get to eat it smh.
Understandable still doesn’t mean you can steal. Because now other people have it hard.
It's also dangerous because the cook food in the old grease and sell it to people
Yeah right,a modern day Robin Hood.Theft is theft.
Stealing $1000 worth of grease a day is not struggling
The grease was literally thrown in the trash - the only reason it's illegal, is because another company takes the used grease (typically at the cost of the restaurant if memory serves correctly), refines it, then resells it. 🤦♂️
This is a good explanation of what all this is about, information goes a long way once you explain it instead of this wasted talk that does not help
Thank you for those who don't know.
It's just as stupid as almost all fast food companies have policies if food is going to be thrown out at the end of the day you're not allowed to take it if you do it's considered theft even if it was already going to the garbage they don't want us to have anything for free even if it's not considered edible by their standards cuz I recently worked at Wendy's and the corporate policy was they want you to always have fresh burgers and if it's been there for longer than five minutes it's no longer fresh thankfully Wendy's reuses their burger meat but McDonald's doesn't there's several wasteful policies in the name of freshness even though it won't Be fresh for another 10 minutes there's enough food to go around there's enough money to go around there's more than enough resources to go around it's just the corporate interest in corporate greed is preventing everyone to have their fair share because if you knew how much corporations paid to manufacture an individual Burger you would feel like they're stealing from you because they cost 90% less than their value this world is built by corporations for corporations we just have the right to live in their world wait until corporations have more power than the government
Also illegal because the freelance recyclers sell to Chinese restaurants and spread unsafe cooking oil to consumers
Look up Chinese sewer oil, this is just the same practice being brought to America
It’s trash that’s been disposed of so there’s nothing illegal about taking it. They’re just mad someone found a hustle that they’re not in on.
Thought it was put out there because it was already paid for and someone else has to come pick it up.
Exactly, government always wants an excuse to make arrests just to make money, the guy looks harmless in a harmless crime
They said it in the beginning. Someone is contracted to take the used oil and refine it for resale. Most likely back to the resraurante at a discounted rate probably.
@@Darkness8536 thats poison🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@RyZCV The report said it is used to manufacture other products, not that it is used in food prep after refinement.

Insider edition shame on you, that Person was just collecting liquid trash. Just like you would call on someone for collecting rain water.
😂 “liquid trash” 😂😂😂😂
You do realize you can make 10k everyday stealing grease right, the reason why it's theft it's because it's refined into biofuel.
@@atebits you can’t plead ignorance buddy.
It not trash it can be turned into fuel. Collecting rain water on the other it just collecting stuff on your property
@C Em Who fries a turkey though
Back in the 1980's a couple college students modified their car to run on used french fry grease . They claimed you could just ask and any restaurant would gladly let you take all you want . It didn't take long for someone to realize they could buy it all up for pennies and then sell it .
Many people do it to this day, and I didn't know that it was illegal don't they just throw that grease away anyway,
Shipping wars there's that couple where his truck ran on used cooking oil and they would go around just getting oil out of random restaurants
The Restaurant Chains dint want the grease stolen because they get paid by giving it for recycling.
Begone thOT
Thanks for clarifying.
Do they get payed though? I have friend who owns a restaurant but he told me that he Pays in order to get his used grease recycled.
They should take it IT LEAVES THE OCEAN MORE CLEANER
@@MorrisWilsonFvcks becuase he had to paid for trash it ... so either way... you paid part of it and they cash backk some of it.. if it got stolen then it don't matter much...

He is doing them a favour by collecting the dirt. Let the man go
Your waste is someone's bio diesel is no different than going to a fuel station and stealing 500 gallons of diesel.
Yeah, except junk is junk, and the only reason it’s considered stealing is because the thief is in doing that, put in a position where he doesn’t pay for taxes on fuel and is actually enjoying the benefits of having fuel... that is the crime, enjoyment without the sacrifice that would turn the enjoyment into a trade of necessary(money) for pleasure(warmth or speed if used in a car)... you can’t just simply enjoy yourself... that’s illegal... same reason whoring is illegal, as you cant set a tax rate for someone enjoying a whore’s pussy... if the pimps would pay taxes on their income from the whores, all that would be legal, as nothing is ever a problem if profit can be made on it by those who write the laws my dear dear friend...

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
Inside edition when after pedophiles
NEVER
Underestimating these small thing is why USA doesnt flinch when they learn "just a flu" kill 20k people in their country each year. They become insensive and look at where that brought you now.
Restaurants: throws food waste away.
Savy people who re-purpose it: Hmm I see an opportunity.
Restaurants: Hey thats our trash!
Yeah, this is stupid
Pretty much lmao.
Clearly you don’t understand some restaurants get paid for the oil!! So yes he’s stealing oil that may be reused by other companies that paid for it which is illegal. Since he didn’t get permission.
Did you not watch? The grease distributors reuse and repurpose the oil. It's not in the trash to get thrown away. It's used grease that is cleaned and reused
We have a rendering plant in our home town that converts organic waste material into dog foodies
Now we need a Septic Tank police, I think someone's stealing our pee and poop
This should be a top comment
“the poopy police”
These guys must think they’re real slick trying to get out of such a greasy situation
It’s going to get thrown away anyways I don’t see what’s wrong with him taking it
Restaurants make money from the grease, a company comes in buys the grease and turn it to biodiesel
Bc they can use this on pepole's food bro
cheap used oil - many owners will buy it, use it - and risk others
@@HinduPasific like in china lol
@@Rhythm8503 yup he is right my dad owns a taco truck they come pay my dad 30 or 50 bucks for the grease
That's like saying
Money is gonna get used anyway , so give me your money , either way right? 😁
They should just give it to the grease thrives. I mean, who cares
The restaurants recycle them too.
Restaurants used to pay to have the grease removed. I can't believe it's now worth money.
I work for chick fil a and it matters because after 14 days when we do a boil out the used oil is put in the outside bin to be took by a company and refine it and resell it. The jugs of peanut oil is like 40 dollars a jug
@@devon72 what is the used oil for? Surely you can't eat that oxidized oil! Also do you use the oil for 14 days before putting it out?
Al mac You can reuse the oil for awhile
I never thought there would be news that in 2020 people be stealing cooking oil I am shooketh
IKR
This has been going on for years.
Lol, I actually read the name of video again thinking I was seeing it wrong.
@@jennieross6685 lol same
@@skibidihawktuahkai YUHHH
Omg it’s oil being recycled, it’s like homeless fishing for plastic and aluminum.
The worst part was that they chose to close in on him while he was trying to have his lunch
He bailed out. Not so bad
@@المهديخاتلبالمجاري his pizza was probably cold by then :(
That’s sad with such a low offense like this but instead we let rapist go with parole LOL.
I feel bad for the guy, he’s just trying to put food on the table for his family. Once it’s in the trash isn’t it not considered stealing. If a homeless person gets things from the trash they aren’t considered criminals, what’s different for this guy. Now he has another warrant on him.
NA most definitely
Except the stolen oil was not in the trash.
It's not in the trash lol that container is for the oil + if you played attention you would hear that the company's actually sell that oil to be re used
It is stealing. The restaurant and rendering company own rights to that oil and it's not trash it's a valuable commodity. If this guy was stealing copper you wouldn't feel the same way but it's the same situation.
You have to get permission from the store manager first. Can't just take it, especially large amounts.
I can't believe this even exists.
Well i mean dont they just throw it out?
you can still burn them. or refind it to a engine oil... not really worth it right now... if he got 1,000 buck and the trunk cost 30,000 plus insurance and fuel.. he had to drive around all day and only profit for few 100 bucks...
can someone tell me why people care? like, werent the restaurants gonna throw the grease away anyways? what value does it give to the restaurant that they care so much?
why is the Simpsons always predicting things in 2020, I can't 😂😂
MY RETIREMENT GREASE!
Hollywood is paid by the CIA
Rebecca R shut up.
@@DylanTreadway56 He just said the Simpson's work for cia you shut up
Wherever value is involved there will be people who exploit it.
*2:29** no one's gonna talk about that old man on his bicycle 🥺💔*

@@xcchrisss 😂😂
Spoofed in the Simpsons episode
Funny
Police: Sir! What do you have in the back?
Grease truck driver: A dead body.
Police: Not that. Hand over your grease!!
They literally threw the cooking oil away why does it matter if someone takes it or not
That's what I'm saying. Seems really petty.
Cause animals and people can die that's why..if that's what I'm taking this as..or get really really sick .would you want to eat something that was used already left sitting there rotting away and then all of a sudden your violently vomiting and diarrhea where you're so sick u have to go to the hospital or your loving let that you live more than anyone dies
