BIDDEFORD (AP) – Police in Biddeford are on the lookout for the culprit who stole a heating oil truck and removed more than 500 gallons of the pricey fuel.

The truck was recovered that afternoon in a residential neighborhood several miles away. But by that time, 530 gallons were gone.
With heating oil averaging $3.17 a gallon, the stolen oil is valued at nearly $1,700.
