Diesel thieves steal fuel from HGVs in Berry Hill Industrial Estate

LORRIES are being drained of an entire tank of fuel by gangs of thieves as police issue a warning to HGV drivers and businesses to beware.

The thieves have been targeting HGVs on the Berry Hill Industrial Estate in Droitwich with two separate incidents in just a few days.

The most recent theft was in the early hours of Tuesday, May 2 in George Baylis Road, which forms part of the industrial estate.

DI Dave Knight of South Worcestershire Proactive CID, based at Worcester Police Station, said patrols in the estate had been stepped up by West Mercia Police who are seeking to identify and apprehend offenders.
