Fuel Theft
Fuel Theft – Wells Neighbourhood Policing Team
With the rising cost of fuel such as heating oil, diesel, and petrol, the likelihood of fuel theft has increased across rural areas.
We are encouraging anyone who stores fuel on their property—whether domestic or commercial—to review their security arrangements. Simple steps like improved lighting, CCTV, secure tank locks, or regular checks can make a big difference.
If you see anything suspicious, please report it to the police via 101 or online.
If you believe a crime is in progress, always call 999 immediately.
Your vigilance helps us keep our communities safe.
Thank you for your continued support.
