A California police helicopter caught a suspect Sunday trying to drill into a truck's gas tank in order to siphon gas.
The incident began when Upland police received a report about a possible catalytic converter theft, KABC-TV reports. A man with power tools was spotted under a box truck.
An Ontario police helicopter spotted the man outside the truck, but instead of trying to steal a catalytic converter, the man was drilling into the vehicle's gas tank. As officers approached the man, he fled in a vehicle.
Police arrested the suspect on felony charges, including vandalism and vehicle tampering. The suspect also had been on parole for a previous assault in Los Angeles.
