Tis the season to be jolly…….and vigilant
On or around the 5th November oil was stolen from the Lyon Hall oil tank. The culprits must have been there for some time as they managed to drill a hole in to the tank and then syphon the oil out spilling it as they went along. Perhaps they thought they would not be interrupted as many people would be busy celebrating bonfire night.
The theft was discovered the next day, made environmentally safe, and the police and insurance companies were informed.
There are a high number of oil users in the village as there is no piped gas available as an alternative. Once a robbery has proved successful it is likely to be repeated. The sad comment from the police was “They’ll be back!”
Lets hope not…………but in the mean time watch out and be vigilant.
