Fuel stations
We know that deliberate drive off ‘no-pay’ incidents have a big impact on fuel stations, so we’ll help you prevent crime in the following ways:
- we’ll visit fuel stations in North Wales
- we’ll equip forecourts with deterrent signs asking, ‘Have you paid for your fuel?’
- we’ll work with you to follow up deliberate ‘no-pay’ incidents and identify offenders
- we’ll train fuel station employees to recognise the signs of criminal exploitation if they see it
- we’ll ask you to act as our ‘eyes and ears’ to identify patterns of behaviour and exploitation
- we’ll deliver the clear message that North Wales Police is working with businesses to prevent crime and convict offenders
Why?
- ‘don’t forget to pay’ signs will minimise innocent drive offs
- partnership work will help us to trace offenders to specific crimes, and to secure a conviction
- intentional drive off ‘no-pay’ incidents in fuel stations are often connected to serious and organised crime: by working together we can identify patterns and tackle criminal exploitation in our communities
- employees in fuel stations will feel confident about calling the police with their suspicions and passing on information which will help safeguard vulnerable people
