Gardaí Hunt Suspect In €20,000 Fuel Theft Spree Across Kildare, Meath And Wicklow

The suspect is linked to a white Ford Transit van with a partial 152-D registration.

Gardaí are searching for a man believed to have stolen over €20,000 worth of fuel in more than 30 drive-offs across Kildare, Meath and Wicklow.

The suspect is linked to a white Ford Transit van with a partial 152-D registration.

The van is reported to have large fuel storage tanks in the rear and has been used to fill up and leave forecourts without payment.

Two such incidents occurred at the same Ashbourne, Meath station within 48 hours on May 29th and 31st last year.

CCTV footage from some of the thefts has been released and published in today's Irish Independent.

The van is noted for having its tax and insurance discs placed in the top right corner of the windscreen and no hubcaps.

The male driver is described as slim and aged in his 20s or 30s.

The case was featured on RTÉ’s Crimecall this week.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Garda Confidential at 1800 666 111 or their local station.
