Theft from businesses
Issued 29 March 2026
We want to inform all members of the community about a recent increase in thefts targeting businesses in our area, with a particular focus on oil theft. This issue is not isolated—it reflects a broader regional trend impacting commercial enterprises, especially those in the catering industry. Local police are actively investigating these incidents and will follow up on all reports to identify suspects and prevent further losses.
Your vigilance is crucial. If you witness any suspicious activity or notice unfamiliar vehicles near business premises, please report these observations promptly to your local police team. Timely reporting helps law enforcement respond effectively and increases the chances of identifying those responsible.
Together, we can help protect our businesses and maintain a safe environment for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
