UPPER DARBY, Pa. (WPVI) -- Police in Delaware County are investigating a theft involving used cooking oil, where surveillance footage captured two suspects siphoning oil from outdoor tanks.

The theft occurred around 7 a.m. Saturday at Wilson's Secret Sauce on East Township Line Road.

Surveillance video shows two individuals using a rented Home Depot truck to back up to the oil tanks, remove a hose, and siphon out the contents. The entire operation lasted less than four minutes.

Steve Wilson, the restaurant's owner, said he was inside at the time and discovered the theft the next day.

"I came in, and I noticed the oily footprints all over my driveway, which I keep pretty clean, and I looked over, and I saw the lock was missing, so I knew someone hit the oil tank," Wilson said.
