HUMBERSIDE police are investigating two separate incidents of theft in Lund.
During the early hours of Sunday 10 March the oil was stolen from the storage tank of a property on North Road.
The oil heating system’s storage tank is located at the side of the house approximately three or four metres from the road side.
A police spokeswoman said: “The tank is behind a hedge and cannot be seen from the roadside unless in a high vehicle. At some point during the night the garden was accessed either through the hedge at the front from the main road or via the fields at the rear.
The cap to the tank was removed and some heating oil siphoned off before the cap was replaced. The alarm to the tank was activated which may account for only a small quantity of oil being removed. The suspect/s then left the scene taking the oil with them and leaving nothing behind.”
If anyone saw or heard anything suspicious early that morning in the area please contact the police and quote crime reference 1962117.
Police are also investigating the theft of two go carts from a farm, also on North Road, Lund.
Between 9am on Thursday 14 March and 6.50pm on Friday 15 March unknown offenders approached the outbuildings to the rear of the farm and removed a tarpaulin from a vehicle trailer. They then removed two petrol go carts from within the trailer.
A spokeswoman for Humberside police said: “The suspects made a lot of effort to move heavy items to get to the two go karts.
One of the Karts was later found. The outstanding go kart is red, has a red chasis, 3 bearing axel, 47 number on front, Knight brand frame, black plastic engine cover, smaller fuel tank about 3 litres, standard smooth clutch, silver metal floor, red fully covered seat, rear loose spare.
If you have seen this distinct go Kart please contact the police and quote crime reference 1963097.”
