Petrol Thefts
03/06/09 13:07 Filed in: Bottesford
Petrol and diesel have been stolen from car fuel
tanks within the last few days in Bottesford. The
fuel has been obtained by drilling a hole in the
base of the tank, thereby also ruining the tank at
considerable expense (£100s) to the owner. The
incidents have occurred in secluded areas AND on
the roadside! If you can, please garage your car in
secure premises both overnight and in the daytime.
Leicestershire Constabulary are very keen to know of ANY other recent instances of such fuel thefts as they may well help to identify and prosecute the thief/thieves. Therefore, even if the theft took place some days ago, please report any such incidents to the police on 0116 222 2222, or to Neighbourhood Watch on one of the numbers below.
