The man admitted he stole fuel on a number of occasions when arrested by Gardaí.
A man in his 20s has been arrested in relation to a series of “drive offs” from filling stations around Kildare and Dublin.
The man filled his vehicle with fuel before deliberately driving off without paying on a number of dates between February last year and April this year.
The combined value of fuel taken is said to be €846.51.
Gardaí arrested the man at his home and he was taken to Ballymun Garda Station, where he was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.
Full admissions were made by the man and he’s expected to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice on Thursday morning.
