MO authorities remind drivers to keep a close watch on their car while filling up

Authorities in Missouri are reminding drivers to keep a close watch on their car while filling up with gas. 

Surveillance video released by St. Charles County police shows a thief stealing a woman’s car from a B-P gas station last week.  

A gray car pulls up next to the pump and a man gets out, slides into the woman’s vehicle and takes off.  

The gas nozzle was still in the car and went flying around.  

Police call the car theft a “slider crime,” which happens when a suspect slides into the driver’s seat of an unlocked car and steals the vehicle.  

Anyone with information about the 2012 maroon Infinity EX-35 is asked to contact St. Charles County P-D.
