Diesel Thefts: watch your tank!



I was warned months ago that this type of theft is on the increase and the dangers of parking in Lay-bys.

Here is recent police message:

FOR THE INFORMATION OF ALL FARMERS, BUSINESS USERS OF RED DIESEL FUEL.


On the evening of Sunday 25th November two males were stopped on the B1188 in a Renault Laguna R943SLW in blue the two males in the vehicle are not local people. The vehicle contained several 25 ltr drums of diesel that has clearly been stolen from somewhere. Both males are currently assisting the police with the enquiry.

Have you had red diesel stolen over this weekend? Have you reported it to the police? Have you checked your vehicles/tanks since this weekend?

If you have had diesel stolen please report that matter to the Police. The two males are still in custody and it would be of a great help to the officers involved in the matter if it can be closed with a good result. IE a charge against the two offenders.

The Police Alert web-site has information on. I only refer occasionally to them. There are also crime maps for Holdingham and elsewhere. I do recollect teh Stokes Drive incident.
