An alleged gas thief was violently flung in the air when her accomplice tried to drive away before the suspect let go of the pump.

A surveillance camera from the gas station in Brisbane, Australia, caught the entire scene on tape.

In the video, a woman in a pink top is filling up a red car when a gas attendant comes over. That's when the driver, seemingly in a panic, starts to drive away.

The suspect is then thrown in the air as the pump tears off, and gas begins flowing out.

She falls to the ground but quickly gets up and jumps in the car as it takes off.

According to The Australian, fire and rescue crews were called to the scene to ensure that the area was safe.

Police are now trying to trace the woman and the driver. Officers told The Australian that the two suspects could be charged with dangerous driving and petrol theft.

Bah. If you're going to risk jail by stealing something at least make it worth while.

I wonder why her accomplice panicked and bolted like that. The gas attendant was likely just checking on them and seeing if they required assistance. There are gas stations where a gas attendant would come out and pump gas in your vehicle. They probably parked in such a spot which made the gas attendant come out.

Honestly, if they were going to get busted because of suspicion or just pure luck they would just cut their looses and pay for the gas and try elsewhere after their tank is nearly empty.

I'm not surprised they tried to steal gas, the gas prices are starting to get more and more absurd nowadays, especially during the summer.

Because we have so much gas theft in my town, the pumps won't activate till you insert a credit card or pay the cashier inside the building.

This is what needs to happen at all gas stations. They may be expensive, sure, but you'd actually save more money in the long run since people cannot steal gas that easily.

Where I am, there are a few gas stations that doesn't require you to pay first, but they're quite out of the way anyway. The gas stations I actually do go to does have such a system set in place.
