Oil theft in Colchester
The B1508 and A134 corridors between Colchester and Sudbury are known routes for rural crime, including fuel theft.
The Tank Alarm system deters and detects theft the moment oil begins to drop unexpectedly — before significant fuel can be removed. The 110dB external siren is heard clearly at range, and tamper detection means the alarm can't be silently disabled.
