WWW.VRAM.COM 888-373-3996 Grease Theft Continued from page 12 In Prince George’s County in Maryland, two thieves pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft charges stemming from theft from Valley Proteins’ used cooking oil containers and received suspended jail terms, less time already served as a result of their arrest. Out West, Reno Police in Nevada began an investigation in early September into the thefts of thousands of gallons of used cooking oil that had been occurring over several months. The oil was being stolen from recycling containers located behind restaurants and other businesses with cooking facilities throughout Reno and Sparks. These containers were locked and clearly identified as being owned by the local rendering company. After a detailed investigation, detectives were able to identify and arrest three suspects who were responsible for stealing large quantities of oil, storing it at an improper local holding facility, and then selling the oil to a biodiesel company and shipping over state lines. On September 18, 2013, Reno Police detectives arrested Frank Camacho-Bobadilla, 28, Alberto Camacho, 25, and Oscar Negrete, 44. Each were charged with one count of organized theft ring and conspiracy to commit theft, and two counts of theft. Progress is slow and incremental. However, the efforts of NRA and its members to educate law enforcement on the magnitude of the grease theft problem to the rendering industry, and members’ cooperation with law enforcement investigations and prosecutions, are showing tangible results.
