Summary
Drivers have stolen nearly £200,000 of fuel from UK forecourts every day since Iran war began. An estimated daily average of £194,000-worth of petrol is stolen across Britain every day following the Iran war price surge, new data shows - that's 20 per cent more than before. Beyond individual opportunists, organised criminal gangs have reportedly used transit vans equipped with large internal canisters to siphon fuel, effectively acting as 'mobile petrol stations' that resell the stolen goods at a discount from roadside laybys.
Furthermore, Europe is facing an imminent energy crisis with gas stocks plummeting to historical lows as a result of the war in Iran.
