The Alberta RCMP have issued a warning about a surge in diesel thefts in the Calgary area. Days after multiple reports of fuel thefts emerged, authorities confirmed a large amount of diesel was stolen from a station in Mountain View County. The fuel station reported the loss of 7,000 liters of diesel.
The thefts have raised concerns among local businesses and law enforcement. RCMP officials stated the incidents are part of a larger pattern of high-volume fuel thefts. The stolen diesel was likely used for illegal purposes, though no arrests have been made yet.
This follows a series of similar incidents in Calgary, where multiple fuel stations reported unauthorized removal of large quantities of diesel. The RCMP have urged residents and businesses to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The thefts have caused disruptions for local businesses and increased security measures at fuel stations.
The situation highlights a growing issue of fuel theft in the region. Law enforcement is working to identify the perpetrators and prevent further losses. The RCMP have not yet released details on the number of incidents or the exact locations involved.
