A Chick-fil-A manager called the police and said a U-Haul box truck pulled up to the fast food restaurant’s dumpster where used fry oil is stored prior to recycling. Two men got out of the truck and took 200 to 300 gallons of oil, the manager told police.

According to the manager, the thieves have stolen the used oil at least four times on a monthly basis.

The manager also said in order to get to the oil, the thieves had to destroy a lock and heavy-duty chain worth $70 at least twice.

The investigation is ongoing, police said.
