POLICE in north Herefordshire are urging householders to make home oil tanks more secure following a rise in fuel thefts.
Officers said many people do not realise they have been hit until they switch their central heating back on and are advising homeowners to fit locks, high fencing and security lights in a bid to put thieves off.
