FUEL THIEVES have targeted vehicles parked on a Lincolnshire industrial estate, siphoning about 150 litres of diesel from removal trucks.
The thieves broke into Clockwork Removals' site on the Fairfield industrial estate in Louth between Friday 25 January and Monday 28 January, when the site was not in use.
Clockwork branch manager Toby Swain told CM that there have been a number of fuel siphoning incidents that have taken place across the industrial estate, but no one had been caught. "They are going on a spree across the industrial estate. Now it's just a case of patching up the fence they cut through and making sure the CCTV is working."
The removals company, which has an 0-licence to operate four vehicles and one trailer out of the site, said this was the second fuel siphoning incident the company had experienced in five years.
If anyone has any information about the incident, they should call Lincolnshire Police on 101.
