Diesel Heist in Tasmania: Owners Hit Hard

0:00These made off with several hundred liters of diesel fuel from a rural property near Oatlands in Central Tasmania, the highest-targeted of storage tank on a trailer park there. It all went down overnight between 5 p.m. yesterday and 6.30 a.m. today. Officials say the 1,000 liter tank was mostly full beforehand, making this a big loss. Diesel prices have jumped lately, sitting at $3.4 per liter right now, up from $1.86 back in early March. That puts extra sting in the theft for owners. Tasmania police are warning everyone to stay alert for fuel grabs like this. They recommend keeping tanks and vehicles in lock sheds or well lit spots with cameras. Anyone with tips should reach out to police straight away as they push forward with the probe into this rural fuel snatch. This has been Sydney News today, powered by AI.
