Police say a man is charged after allegedly stealing fuel from a rural orchard property in Hawke’s Bay. According to reports, the alleged theft involves around 200 litres of fuel. An orchard owner becomes aware of the incident and watches the man steal fuel on live CCTV footage, which later helps investigators identify the vehicle linked to the incident. Police locate and arrest the man after reviewing the footage. One report says 60 litres of fuel are recovered in connection with the matter. The man, described as 52 years old in one outlet, is now before the courts on charges related to the alleged fuel theft. The reports do not provide further details about the fuel’s intended use or the total amount found beyond the recovered figure. The case is ongoing, and the allegations are yet to be tested in court.
