Fuel siphoning pump found in vehicle that was stopped in Sligo
A FUEL siphoning pump and drums were found in a vehicle that was stopped by gardaí on patrol in Sligo in the early hours of Monday night. The vehicle was stopped and seized for road traffic offences and the men in it were arrested.
Then, in a search of the vehicle, the siphoning pump and drums were found.
Gardaí believe that stopping this vehicle and its occupants resulted in the prevention of a crime that was about to take place.
They say the matter is still being investigated.
Gardaí also said that it is a timely reminder to business owners, especially hauliers, to secure their property as best they can.
And they ask people if they notice suspicious activities to report it.
