North Yorkshire Police has recently seized a vehicle which contained a large quantity of diesel fuel in the rear of the vehicle.
This has prompted us to issue an appeal to all agricultural and marina businesses regarding the storing of diesel fuel and how you can help prevent further crimes.

Making a report
If you think an offence has or is about to be committed, please let us know.
You can report a rural crime on the following link. Report a rural crime | North Yorkshire Police
Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101 or 999 if it is an emergency.
If you’re not sure it’s a crime, we’d rather hear from you and decide that ourselves.
