FUEL STOLEN FROM PARKED VEHICLE

FUEL STOLEN FROM PARKED VEHICLE

Good afternoon,

We would like to make local businesses aware that within the last week, fuel has been stolen from a vehicle parked at a business premises near Rugeley Town Centre.

Whilst this appears to be an isolated incident, fuel theft can result in significant costs and disruption to businesses, particularly where vehicles are relied upon for daily operations.

To help reduce the risk of becoming a victim, please consider the following crime prevention advice:

• Park vehicles in well-lit, secure areas whenever possible.
• Where available, use CCTV, security lighting and other deterrents.
• Consider fitting locking fuel caps or anti-siphon devices.
• Position vehicles so fuel tanks are difficult to access.
• Regularly check vehicle fuel levels and inspect for signs of tampering.
• Ensure any suspicious activity, particularly persons or vehicles seen around business premises outside normal hours, is reported promptly.

If you witness suspicious behaviour or have information relating to fuel thefts in the area, please report it to Staffordshire Police via 101, online at www.staffordshire.police.uk, or by calling 999 in an emergency.

Together, we can help protect local businesses and reduce opportunities for crime.

Thank you for your continued vigilance and support.
