Gas Attendant Over Serves, Tries to Syphon Extra Gas
Customer asked for $20 worth of gas but was given $30.
A customer at Sudbury Automotive was prevented from leaving the Boston Post Road gas station the morning of June 29 when an attendant tried to syphon gas from the car after over serving.
According to Lt. Robert Grady, the customer called the Sudbury Police Department for help after the attendant propped her car on a lift and attempted to syphon $10 worth of gas.
The customer told the responding officer she asked for $20 worth of gas, but was given $30. When she was unable to pay for the extra gas, her car was put on a lift, which the responding officer witnessed, Grady said.
Grady said the police department is waiting for a report from the Department of Weights and Measures before taking any action.
