UCO thieves caught

A couple in Wichita, Kansas, in the US, have been arrested after they were caught stealing waste grease from a local eatery.

After leaving Joplin, it is thought that the pair visited small towns such as Iola and Cherryvale throughout the night, helping themselves to used cooking oil, before arriving at Burger King in the early hours of the morning.

They were spotted at 5.30am on 25 January sucking grease out of the storage containers located at the back of the restaurant.

Companies such as Burger King so longer throw away their left over grease. Today they are paid to dispose of it as it can be used in the production of biodiesel.
