A FUEL watch scheme is being launched in a bid to stop motorists driving off from petrol stations without paying.

 

A dedicated police officer will be responsible for tackling so-called ?drive-offs?. Between February 2008 and January this year, there were 347 drive-off offences in Bury and the total value of fuel stolen was ?15,468.

 

Under the new scheme officers will liaise directly with retailers and provide details of offending vehicles.

Some folk get away with it for months in London (largely in part to the Met being lazy fecks who don't investigate things properly). False plates are the future!!

It's called bilking.

False plates are the future!!

Guy in work forgot to pay for his petrol at Reading Services with company fuel card after paying for his porn and ginsters with cash.

Drove up M4,M25,M40,M42 and got as far as Cannock on M6 before he was forced off the road by three M'way Patrol cars. He had been tracked using overhead "traffic flow monitoring" CCTV all the way before a Force would allocate the manpower requird to stop him. Must have tied in with end of snack at Police Depot at Hilton Park.

missus had hers nicked about 6 months back whilst car was on the drive. the clever cuntshovels didnt even put the plates on a similar make and model!

 

got caught not long after and charged with 8 drive offs. hoodlums

not being funny or owt, but its cost 16k in 12 months, yet we're gonna spend 30k a year on plod?

if these fcuking filling stations have problems, hire security, or pay for the copper - you know, like football clubs have to
