Police help call on petrol thefts

The Wyndham Petrol Drive Off Team is seeking public help to catch petrol thieves.

The team, set up in November last year, has been working closely with retailers to help prevent crime at service stations and give managers a greater understanding about the information that helps investigators.

Senior Sergeant Stephen O’Connell said since November, police have seen the volume of reports of petrol drive-offs increase, as well as the volume of information about the crime.

If you can identify the people in these images, the team urges you to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
