EDMOND, Okla. - A slippery thief is on the loose in Edmond, where police say nearly 5,000 pounds of used cooking grease has been stolen from three restaurants.
The latest theft was of 1,700 pounds of grease from Alvarado's, taken between 10 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. Tuesday, police said.
Two other restaurants have been victimized twice with about 2,200 pounds taken from Panda House and about 1,000 pounds from Jamil's.
"It's one of the most unusual cases of theft we've had in Edmond," said police spokeswoman Glynda Chu.
Police think the thief is someone familiar with the restaurant industry and is looking to turn in the grease for the recycling value, Chu said.
The grease was to be picked up by Evergreen Grease Service of Cashion, which resells it.
Evergreen officials said the grease has a resale value of about $380.
