Recently we have been getting increasing reports of diesel thefts including RED diesel from farm vehicles, commercial vehicles and lorries etc. Also a number of farm out-building/barns and shed breaks have increased in the rural recently. · We ask and advise you all to make your buildings and the contents as secure as possible, either by - reinforcing with additional panels to the internal structure where possible fit grille, heavy wire mesh or strong perspex at windows. · Strengthen the door frame and secure with coach bolts or non-return screws with good shackle padlocks. · Fitting an alarm (no electric supply consider a battery operated alarm) · MARK your PROPERTY - using UV Pen or SMART WATER - we recover large amounts of property this gives a better chance of returning and Identifying your property. · Secure tools and Ladders and record serial numbers - Offenders will use your tools to break into your property. · Lighting - consider movement sensors, now the nights are longer, also consider where to install them. · Park vehicles (fuel tanks together where possible) making it difficult to get between vehicles to syphon fuel out. |
