Oil Tank Alarms

The RCMP are investigating the theft of a large quantity of home heating oil at a residence in Canso. Police say they estimate at least 500 liters of oil was stolen from a residential tank over the holidays. The owners of a residence in Canso had 900-dollars worth of oil delivered to their home over a three week period. Police say the home’s high efficiency furnace isn’t even capable of burning that much oil in such a short period of time. The theft comes after police reported a high number of thefts from residential oil tanks in North Eastern Nova Scotia last winter. Anyone with information about this crime is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers or the Guysborough detachment of the RCMP.
