In a Facebook post, the team said: “The team executed a warrant in High Green in relation to the theft of and sale of diesel within the area as a result of information passed by the community.

“Whilst this might seem like victimless crime it can have an impact on both vehicle users and business by increasing their costs.

“People have been interviewed in relation to the matter and enquiries are ongoing.”
