An investigation is under way after diesel reported to be worth more than £250,000 was stolen from a high-security Royal Navy base. The fuel was siphoned from a tanker and was due to fill up electricity generators powering the HMS Bulwark, a 19,560-tonne assault ship, at HMNB Devonport in Plymouth. Thieves accessed the base and stole the diesel, which belonged to contractor Babcock International, in September 2021. The fuel was worth more than £250,000, according to The Sun. The newspaper added that "the heist ran for weeks" and "most of the diesel has been flogged on the black market" as UK motorists deal with record-breaking rises in fuel prices. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://news.sky.com/story/amp/fuel-worth-more-than-250-000-stolen-from-high-security-royal-navy-base-12584280&ved=2ahUKEwjsg8mnkYf3AhWpzYUKHdLUDskQFnoECAQQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3Xesuou5aM1VYADzdRve44 |

So they are already stealing fuel when the taps haven't been turned off yet?. Many supermarkets across the west are now empty cause no money to restock and no cash to buy additional groceries. Interesting times ahead, no thanks to inflation and sanctions. 2 Likes |

sunboy: The US and some European countries. Empty shelves have gradually return courtesy of clogged supply chains and rising cost. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-09-24/inflation-and-supply-shortages-mean-a-return-of-empty-shelves-and-panic-buying |
