🔒 Crime Prevention Alert: Rising Oil Prices Leading to Fuel Thefts

With the recent increase in oil prices, we’re seeing a rise in incidents where both diesel and domestic heating oil are being targeted by thieves. Rural locations, farms, and properties with external tanks are particularly vulnerable.

To help protect your fuel supply, we strongly encourage residents to consider investing in a Tank Monitoring device or similar tank‑monitoring system.

🛡️ Why a Tank Monitoring Device Helps

The device will monitor the fuel level in your heating oil tank.
If the fuel level suddenly drops—something that commonly occurs during theft—the system will trigger an immediate alert, giving you time to act and notify police.
