"In one report 300 litres was stolen. Particularly vulnerable are oil tanks that are located away from the dwelling and are in rural or isolated places.
"Owners of such tanks should really consider increasing the security so as to reduce the risk of falling victim to this ongoing trend."
Sergeant Manuell said owners of commercial and agricultural vehicles were also vulnerable to attack with a recent report in the Grampound Road area of Truro of up to 100 gallons of road diesel being stolen in one night.
