HOUSEHOLDERS in Waveney were reminded this week to protect their heating oil supplies after some 300 litres of fuel were stolen from a tank in Lound Road, Blundeston.
Suffolk police said the warning applied particularly to people living in rural areas, and they asked anyone who saw people acting suspiciously near household fuel tanks to get in touch.
'Thefts of heating oil continue to be an issue around Suffolk, so residents should remain vigilant,' said a spokesman.
The Blundeston crime was comm-itted between Tuesday, February 1 and Wednesday last week.
