Get This: Altar In Mexican Town Hides Illegal Fuel Tap

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Altars to the Virgin of Guadalupe are ubiquitous at businesses across Mexico. Now federal police say one has even been used in a gasoline smuggling racket in the central state of Puebla. Police said Tuesday that a trail of fuel leaking into the street in the town of San Martin Texmelucan led them into a lot where they found an altar to Mexico’s patron saint with an unusual red hose protruding from it. As they approached, a man carrying a gun got out of a vehicle and tried to flee.
