A police officer paid tribute to a petrol forecourt security scheme after the recent arrest of a fuel thief. PC Des Clark, the community safety officer at Milngavie Police Office in Glasgow, disagreed that stealing fuel does not hurt anyone, and said: “Some may think it’s a victimless crime, but this is not the case. It impacts on consumers, retailers and the police, and costs the oil industry millions of pounds.” PC Clark added of the driver arrested after failing to pay for £56 worth of petrol: “The Forecourt Watch scheme is an excellent example of a partnership working.”
