Diesel stolen from irrigation installations

Diesel thieves cause damage to arable farmers in Flevoland and Zeeland. In recent days, hundreds of liters of fuel have been stolen from agricultural vehicles, in particular from sprinkler systems.

The police will therefore carry out extra surveillance in the Noordoostpolder. According to broadcaster Flevoland 1 liters of fuel were stolen from 800 farmer in the Noordoostpolder. That was stolen from a sprinkler system. You have to be extra careful with these installations, because they are often unattended.

Diesel has been stolen from at least 6 arable farmers in the Noordoostpolder. Police are urging local residents to be vigilant. Diesel is not only stolen in the Noordoostpolder, because arable farmers in Zeeland also reported that fuel had been stolen. In June it became clear that there in Friesland was a fuel thief emptying tractors.
