Is Grease a Hot Commodity?

Radnor Police report that $200 in cooking grease was stolen from an outdoor container at Five Guys in Wayne.

An employee of the hamburger restaurant reported the theft on Feb. 26; the theft likely occurred between Feb. 22 and that date. There was also about $300 worth of damage done to the grease container.

Last year, according to a report from Malvern Patch, emergency services responded to an auto crash involving a van with a 250 gallon tank of cooking grease in the back. Amazingly, only 10 to 15 gallons of grease was reported spilled. Read the story here.

Also last year someone stole about 30 gallons of used cooking oil from Wawa in Wayne that the store typically donates sometime between February 14 and 20. The oil is stored behind the building.
