Yet more fuel has been stolen from vehicles parked in Pembrokeshire.

The victim this time was Silcox Coaches, Pembroke Dock. Thieves entered the company's premises at Waterloo between December 21st and Christmas Eve and stole a large quantity of diesel from unattended coaches.

Since soaring fuel prices hit Britain this kind of theft has become more and more common. In November there was a spate of fuel thefts from lorries parked in the Pembroke Dock area and earlier this month over £180 worth of fuel was stolen from vehicles parked in Tenby's North Beach car park.

In the Narberth area police have warned the public to review security arrangements following a spate of thefts from fuel tanks in agricultural and commercial properties.

Police are asking anyone with information on the most recent theft to contact PC Morris at Pembroke Dock police station on 0845 330 2000.
