Even though the razor blades were discovered and removed by authorities, police are still cautioning residents of Forest City to inspect the handle of each gas pump before picking it up, just in case. They’re also advising the use of gloves, although you would have to wear something pretty heavy to not be cut by a razor blade when applying pressure to a gas pump handle.
