Suspect in Orick Breaks Window and Activates Gas Pump Before Filling Tank and Fleeing
Press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:
On April 22, 2021, at about 4:04 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a gas station on the 120,000 block of U.S. Highway 101 in Orick for a security alarm sounding.
Deputies arrived at the business and discovered the front window had been broken out. No suspects were located inside the business. After reviewing surveillance footage, deputies learned that an unknown person forced entry into the business by breaking the window. The suspect activated a gas pump from inside the business and proceeded to steal gas before fleeing northbound on Highway 101.
The suspect is only described as a possibly male adult, approximately 20-30 years of age, wearing a hoodie and dark jeans. The suspect is associated with an early 2000’s model Mitsubishi Eclipse, unknown color or license plate number.
This case is still under investigation.
Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to call the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.

Station computer left online and unlocked (no security codes)… or did he know the codes ?
Looks like this guy was an ex-service station employee. (This one or some other.)
I think a common thief would take some other ($) stuff from the station.
IMHO: Probably a stolen car.
Yep. Inside job. That gas is eventually gonna cost him alot more than the high price it is now.
Orick is a shithole that needs to vanish anyway
def inside or former inside job

I think you two above, are correct.
Wow, he was on quite a Bender to the end.
My condolences to the families of the 2 victims
My your loved ones RIP.
Must have taken the cops a very long time to get there. That is the slowest gas pump in the entire world. It’s a rare antique.
Don’t recommend using the bathroom there either. The store will hand you a key that is sometimes fastened to a used toilet brush, or alternately a toilet plunger. No kidding. I think they hate tourists.
Mother F thats some twisted shyt. Last few months of his life were live action GTA. To take innocent others out. TRAGIC.
Corey was one of the best mother FUCKERS I have ever known….He hooked up with a girl a couple years ago that was into heroin.She committed suicide Xmas morning. He was distraught to say the least. I’m not ok with what He did, I just know He needed help and that’s where ALL OF US NEED TO LOOK AT OURSELVES. The answers are in ALL OF US, I NOW IT.???
