Diesel stolen from trucks at county Kilkenny premises for second time in week

Diesel has been stolen from lorries parked up in a yard in county Kilkenny for the second time in a little over a week.

The latest theft occurred at a commerical premises in Glenmore sometime between 7pm on Tuesday and 5.30am Wednesday.

The thieves siphoned off diesel from three lorries parked in the yard and got away with around €1,000 worth of fuel.

Exactly one week beforehand a gang broke into a yard in the Glenmore area and stole €5,000 worth of diesel from seven lorries parked in the yard.

Gardai believe the culprits used some form of tanker to transport the fuel from the yards.

Anyone with information about the incident or who may have witnessed anything suspicious in the area at the time is asked to contact Thomastown Garda Station on 056 775 4150.
