Do keep an eye open for thieves targeting your oil tank!
See police report below:
Theft of Heating Oil Field Close, Beyton, at around 3.05am, 21/01/11, Offenders entered the side passage of a residential property and whilst in the process of removing heating oil from the insecure tank they were disturbed and fled in a White Transit Van. A small quantity of heating was stolen, however, the Offenders in their haste to leave, left behind a pump and piping. It should be noted that the reason the householder was alerted to this event, is because he was disturbed by a buzzing type noise coming from outside and on putting his light on, he noticed this white Transit Van parked on the road, near to the side passage entrance of the property, with a side door of the van open and wires going from the van over the fence, with a battery used to assist in pumping the fuel out of the tank. Calls in relation to this incident should be made to PC Steve Duncan at Bury St Edmunds Response Team, Bury St Edmunds Police Station and quote Crime Ref: ST/11/233.
