Man allegedly steals more than $4000 worth of fuel

Police are searching for a man who allegedly stole more than 1400 litres of fuel, worth more than $4000, from a Queensland service station.

CCTV shows a truck driver filling up a white Western Star prime mover at a service station on the Cunningham Highway at Sladevale, about 130 kilometres west of the Gold Coast near Warwick, on October 10.

Police allege the man left about 3pm without paying for the 1462 litres and travelled in an unknown direction without registration plates.

The man is described as Caucasian, with a medium build and dark hair.

He was wearing dark-coloured pants, brown boots and a fluorescent yellow and black long-sleeved top.

Police are appealing for anyone who recognises the man to contact them.
