When they returned to the pump, the pair pried open its front panel and disabled the manual shut-off switch. They then filled up a line of waiting cars.

The gas station's owner told WFAA-TV (Channel 8) that the thieves returned to the station for the next two days before the tampered pump was discovered. In all, $3,550 of premium gas was stolen.

Police said the pair were in a white Chrysler 300 and a blue Ford Mustang with two white stripes on the trunk.

Anyone with information on this case or suspects can contact Dallas police at 214-671-8066.

CORRECTION, 4 p.m., Oct. 8, 2019: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that a blue Ford Mustang with two white stripes on the trunk was among the two cars the culprits were driving. Dallas police have since revised the car's make and model to Chevy Camaro.
