Develop innovative security solutions to combat social and economic issues"

Fuel theft in the UK is on the increase and is being reported on an almost daily basis in the national and regional press. This type of theft is costly both to home owners, farms and business, not to mention the environment and the associated risks of fire. 

You've seen it on the news, you've read it in the newspapers and you may have heard stories of your neighbours being a victim of it. What are we talking about ? Oil Theft.... the new crime that is sweeping the nation.

The recent rise in oil prices, from around 30p at the beginning of 2008 to c.60p, has seen a massive increase in the theft of oil from oil storage tanks. Anyone with an oil tank could be at risk of theft and if your oil was stolen consider this:

The average oil tank holds 2000 litres, so it could cost in excess of £1,200 to replace stolen oil plus an additional £750 to replace a damaged tank.

Oil is highly flamable and poses a real fire hazard if it is not treated with great care. In trying to steal your oil, thieves could be careless and create a real danger if the oil ignites.

Any spillage of oil from a theft must be reported to the Environment Agency Pollution Line, can seep into the watercourse and cause damage to the environment and costs both time and money to put right.

The Police and other authorities are urging home owners and other users of oil to secure their supplies, but there is a fundamental question which everyone is asking - How to secure your oil supply ?

OilSecure have the solution.... the OilSecure Oil Tank Alarm, a cost effective and efficient way to deter  thieves from stealing your oil PLUS in the unlikely event that they do try and steal your oil will alert you to the theft
