An Indian restaurant in Lowestoft has caught cooking oil thieves on CCTV.
Staff at Lowestoft Tandoori noticed on Saturday morning (February 11) that stock had been stolen from their restaurant.
When they checked their CCTV they saw two men in high-vis vests had entered the premises at around 7am and stolen ten barrels of 20l cooking oil and other stock.
Used cooking oil is often stolen to be converted into unregulated biodiesel, a diesel substitute produced from animal fats or waste cooking oil.
The oil can be sold to unsuspecting processing plants for conversion or converted by the criminals themselves.
Lowestoft Tandoori posted a CCTV image on its Facebook in an attempt to identify the men, gaining hundreds of shares.
Suffolk Constabulary has confirmed that it is investigating the theft of 10 barrels of cooking oil from the rear of the restaurant at 7am on February 11.
Officers are asking anyone who can help the investigation to contact Suffolk Constabulary via the website or by calling 101 using crime reference number 37/8714/23.
