The Cost of Conflict: Fuel Theft Epidemic Spills Over into UK Forecourts As tensions escalate between Iran and Western nations, a crisis has been unfolding on British forecourts.
Analysis by fuel theft prevention company Forecourt Eye reveals that drivers have been stealing an average of nearly £200,000 worth of fuel every day since February 28th, when the conflict began.
The numbers paint a complex picture. For first time offenders, there was a significant jump in both the number and volume of stolen fuel, while repeat offenders continued to pilfer at an alarming rate.
