This message is for those members of the community that use Oil for heating your homes! With the nights drawing in and the Summer fading fast, now is the time to be thinking about turning your heating on and checking the oil tank in the garden.
We are unfortunately starting to receive reports of Oil being stolen from tanks! Where possible try to conceal/disguise your tank. If possible install a oil tank alarm.
(These work on a sensor and will inform you when tank running low but also warn you if there is a sudden drop in oil).
Order your oil from a reputable supplier. When oil delivered be aware of vehicles acting suspiciously around the location, make note of index and make model of vehicle. If you see anything that you feel is suspicious please call the police on the non emergency number 101. If you witness a crime being committed please call 999.
Many thanks
Julie Bailey Crime Reduction and Community Safety Officer Fenland.
