North Wales Police are urging people to be vigilant following recent incidents whereby heating oil has been stolen on Anglesey.
Two incidents were reported to police last week and officers are keeping an open mind as to whether they are both linked.
The first incident was reported to officers on Friday 5th of March, whereby sometime between January and the 5th March, approximately 500 litres of oil was stolen from a tank outside a property in Tynygongl, Benllech.
The second incident was reported later on the same day whereby sometime between Friday 26th of February and Friday 5th of March, a large amount of oil was stolen from a tank outside a property in Bodorgan.
Officers are urging the public to report any suspicious activity, particularly any sightings of unmarked tankers or suspicious vehicles.
Advice:
- Fit a good quality close shackle padlock to the filler cap and drain tap
- Make access to the tank more difficult using fences, trellis, walls or defensive planting
- Position a security light which can make thefts more difficult
- Consider lockable metal enclosures to completely surround the tank
Anyone with information is asked to contact North Wales Police on 101 or Crimestoppers Wales anonymously on 0800 555 111.
