50,000 litres of gas stolen
September 2, 2009

It may seem like something out of the most recent Fast and Furious film but it has become reality in Durham Region. Durham police are attempting to solve a crime spree, which involves the theft of more than 50,000 litres of fuel. Over a span of three-months, large
amounts of fuel have gone missing from storage tanks at companies in the north end of the region. One of the incidents involved the theft of more than 20,000 litres of fuel. In two other separate incidents, 10,000 litres of gas were stolen from two different sites.

Police believe that thieves, who are outfitted with the necessary equipment and tools to pull off the heists, are targeting certain businesses. Police are asking the general public to report anything suspicious in or around businesses in their area, which maintain and store large amounts of fuel, like construction companies.

If you know anything, you can call 905-579-1520 ext. 2676.
