You are no doubt aware of the escalating costs of oil and as a result there have been a number of reported thefts of heating oil from tanks in domestic properties throughout our policing district. Owners of oil tanks are advised to check them periodically throughout the summer for theft of oil rather than wait until later in the year when the central heating is switched on. Please also report to the police any suspicious activity regarding sightings of vehicles carrying containers or towing bowsers. If you require specific security advice please telephone 0845 456 7000 and ask to be put in touch with either your local Beat team or the District Crime Reduction Officer who is based at Wells.
