Pennsauken, New Jersey — (04/22/04)-- A gasoline tanker truck has been missing from a Pennsauken parking lot for more than a week, sending local officials and the FBI scrambling.

The New Jersey Office of Counterterrorism has asked all the state's law enforcement agencies to look for the truck.

"We don't know what the motive was behind the theft," FBI spokeswoman Linda Vizi said. "It could have been stolen by another individual in the fuel-hauling business. But we feel it's important to find it, find out who took it, and find out why it was taken."

Authorities worried over terrorism possibility start nationwide search for the missing truck
The missing tanker was described as a light-colored Fruehauf tanker with the name "TK Transport" in large green letters on its side. The truck had a New Jersey license plate, T852SC, at the time of the disappearance.

Vizi said the vehicle disappeared from the parking lot at the TK Transport Terminal in Pennsauken between April 7 and 10.

Pennsauken police Capt. Earl Griffin said it was a few days before workers at the facility realized it was gone. He said the truck, which had recently been refurbished, was empty at the time of the disappearance.

Vizi said this particular truck did not have a valid federal inspection sticker, which would prevent it from being filled at any legitimate supply depot.
