This might help other petrol stations and members of the public if the car that was used can be described that stole the fuel from the Minster petrol station?
There’s been a lot of thefts and it’s been a single car doing it (silver polo).
What sort of fuel?
Petroleum type fuel, the type that creates a combustion, diesel and or petrol, is that sufficient information for you to add something more constructive?
I didn’t make any assumptions about what kind of fuel it was. Might have been wood or even coal.
If the fuel was stolen from lorries I am guessing it might be diesel. You do not get many petrol lorries.
The lorry could have been carrying wood or coal though!
