Three teenagers siphoned 165 litres of diesel from a lorry while the driver slept in the cab.

But police officers who had a hunch about their Transit van parked in a lay-by on the A47 at Swaffham caught them as they made off.

At Lynn Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, 18-year-old Bradley Hopkins, of Castle Acre Road, Swaffham, and two 17-year-olds, who cannot be named for legal reasons, each admitted theft of diesel worth £163.71 and going equipped for theft.

One of the trio was fined £150 for the theft and £50 for going equipped. He was also ordered to pay £55 compensation (a third of the diesel cost) to the lorry owner, £85 costs and a £32 victim surcharge!

Truck Fuel Protected & Chicken Transport Company

Perry Finch Poultry Transport of Coventry has recently purchased the Scania TP Anti Siphon products for the Scania truck fleet.

Police are continually warning lorry drivers to beware of thieves stealing diesel from their parked vehicles. I n a recent speight of truck fuel thefts around the Horsham area 200 litres of diesel had been stolen from a parked truck with another truck driver woke to find half of his diesel tank had been siphoned and the fuel stolen.

Mr Perry Finch, the Owner of the truck fleet decided to secure his Scania truck tanks with an anti siphon device, although many truck owners are wary of anti fuel theft products due to tank attack, Perry’s view was that a protection barrier is a worthwhile barrier to the opportunists fuel thief and will offer peace of mind no one can easily siphon a fuel tank.

Anti Fuel Theft Devices are relatively cheap to purchase and capable of withstanding regular and prolonged use.
