Three people, including a heavy-equipment operator for the Colorado Department of Transportation, have been charged in connection with a fuel-theft ring.
The charges allege Jaime Perez, 39, through his job as a heavy-equipment operator, cloned state fuel cards and provided them to two men who purchased large amounts of diesel fuel that they sold to others.
The two men are identified as Fernando Ibarra-Gonzalez, 42, and Asuncion Aguirre-Barron, 40.
All three are in Denver County Jail.
According to an arrest affidavit, the men have stolen more than $200,000 worth of diesel fuel with the cloned fuel cards.
