Fuel thieves have stolen around 30,000 litres of fuel from Hanson’s Ketton Cement works in Rutland.

The thieves are believed to have navigated the site security systems to attach a 200m long pipe to the fuel bunker in the vehicle compound, which was then siphoned off to a nearby tanker .
Hanson has around 100 vehicles on site, a mix of own account and franchisee, and has launched an internal investigation.
Anyone with information regarding the theft should contact Leicestershire police.
