Oil tank thefts – be aware

I’ve recently been told of an oil tank that was emptied by thieves in the John’s Cross area.  The resident’s tank had just been topped up in November.
We have to assume that such thefts will only continue and increase .
Please take what steps you can to protect your oil tanks – locks, alarms, be vigilant.
