Following the start of the conflict in the Middle East over Iran, fuel theft from petrol pumps has also increased significantly. Industry analysis has shown that an average of about £194,000, or about Tk 32.2 crore in Bangladeshi currency, has been stolen from various petrol stations in the country every day in the last five months.
Forecourt Eye, an organisation working to prevent fuel theft, said that in the five months since February 28, the number of cases of fuel being stolen from petrol pumps without paying has increased by 20 percent compared to the previous five months. As oil supplies are disrupted due to the conflict in the Middle East, wholesale oil prices have increased in the international market, which has also affected the UK retail market.
