Man arrested after using device to steal over $1,700 worth of fuel from Wawa in Delaware, police say

A man has been arrested after he allegedly used a device to steal more than $1,700 worth of fuel from a Wawa in Delaware.

Kelvin Giron-Brand, 34 of Paterson, New Jersey was arrested at a Wawa located on Commons Boulevard in New Castle on Tuesday after state troopers responded to a call about a theft.

Police said Giron-Brand had installed a device on a fuel pump so that he could manipulate the pump to dispense a large volume of fuel for a fraction of the cost.



Troopers had recovered multiple containers inside Giron-Brand’s work van that contained over $1,700 worth of fuel but he had only paid less than $20, according to police.
