The high-security British Royal Naval Base featured massive fuel theft last year. The robbers seized a total of 250,000 pounds or tens of thousands of liters of diesel worth over 300,000 francs. Massive theft has taken place at HMNB (Her Majesty’s Naval Base) Devonport, the largest naval base in Western Europe.
According to the “Sun” it was the tankers that were evacuated. The plundered fuel was used to power the Navy ship generators.
Over several weeks
Authorities confirmed the theft, but did not release any details. “The Ministry of Defense is aware of an incident in which fuel was allegedly stolen from a contractor at HMNB Devonport last year. There was no disruption to security operations and no comment was made by the Ministry of Defense, “a ministry spokesman said. Communication “Freedom”.
According to ITVThe thefts may have spread several weeks before they were finally discovered.
‘Uncomfortable’ case
The company looted from the naval base is called Babcock International, which operates with the Ministry of Defense in Devonport. He declined to comment on the matter, but confirmed that a police investigation was ongoing.
ITV notes that elected officials consider the case “embarrassing” and raise “serious questions about the security of one of the most secure naval bases in the country.”
