@c5news: “We have more cameras here than Birmingham International Airport” Owner of Ablewell Service Station, Shailesh Parekh, speaks of the detrimental impact petrol thefts are having on his business. He says he lost £40,000 worth of stolen fuel last year, and it could amount to £60,000 this year. New figures show that so-called ‘fill up and flee’ thefts have gone up by nearly 20 per cent - when drivers fill up their cars but leave without paying - with a surge since the Iran conflict began at the end of February.

For some one who use to work at petrol station we wasn’t allowed to allow fuelling if the Jerry cans wasn’t on the floor. The cashier had the option to pause fuelling at any time with a simple press of tbe pump button from the till!
