petrol siphoned off car in Upland Road

[healer]

Sorry to report another crime which took place in Upland Road on Sunday 17th of April about 9.45pm I opened my front door to let the cat out. There was an overwhelming smell of petrol fumes. After about 5 minutes the smell of petrol fumes has completely gone. Yesterday my husband took the car out only to find there was no petrol in the tank. He just made it to the petrol station, filled up with petrol and then took the car to the mechanic to have the car checked over. Only to find that the place you put petrol in had been forced open and broken, probably by using a screw driver. All the petrol had clearly been siphoned out of the car. How bold the thief was, the car was parked in an open driveway with plenty of bright lighting. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else in the area?

It's happened lot's of times, particularly from motorbikes. Theft of petrol is a common thing I'm afraid.
