CRIME Stoppers Victoria is partnering with the Victorian Government to target perpetrators of fuel theft throughout Victoria.<\/p>\n
The We See You campaign, which recently launched, warns fuel thieves that stealing fuel is a crime, and sends a clear message to those contemplating driving away without paying: \u201cWe See You\u201d.<\/p>\n
Over the next month, Crime Stoppers Victoria will be leading a crackdown on fuel theft, releasing images and CCTV footage of individuals who have been filmed allegedly stealing fuel.<\/p>\n
In addition to CCTV, witnesses are being urged to report any sightings of fuel theft to Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n
Victoria Police Acting Commander Peter Brigham said police are committed to putting an end to fuel theft.<\/p>\n
\u201cFuel theft is a criminal offence and we are working closely with the industry to investigate offences and charge offenders.<\/p>\n
\u201cCrime Stoppers will be referring any relevant information received during this campaign to Victoria Police to assist in these investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crime Stoppers Victoria chief executive officer Erika Owens said that now was the time to shine a light on the impact of this crime and put a stop to fuel theft.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that information from the community helps to solve crime, we see it every day at Crime Stoppers, so please get behind this campaign and report what you know.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether, we can make our community a safer place to work and live.\u201d<\/p>\n
