Clare Gardaí Concerned Rising Prices Will Lead To Home Heating Oil Theft

Gardaí in Clare are warning that rising prices could lead to increased theft of home heating oil.

Traditionally, incidents of this type of crime spikes during the winter months, as more people fill their tank and Clare’s Crime Prevention Officer says there’s a number of measures people can take to prevent against this.

Sergeant Triona Brooks is urging people to ensure their tank isn’t visible to passing traffic and to install sensor lights on your property if you’re in a position to.

Sergeant Brooks has more advice to help prevent against opportunist theft.
