Bid to stop spate of diesel thefts


C L ITH ER O E police want the public to help th em end a sp a te of diesel thefts from local


garages. In the last 10 days, three


Ribble Valley garages and one in Great Harwood have had thousands of litres of diesel siphoned from fore­ court pumps. The thefts have all occurred after closing time —


- according to police, who want the public to report any suspicious visitors to garages clearly shut. Said a police spokesman: "One of


between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m.


the garages had 3,000 litres of diesel stolen. We want to know where all this diesel is being stored and what it is I


being used for." Following one of the


thefts, police received reports that an old yellow I Transit minibus with plas­ tic over its back window had been seen in the area at the time of the incident. However, another witness


should telephone 01200 443383.
