Metal Theft

Calor Gas

Continuing our series of web episodes for the Scottish Business Crime Centre, we spoke with Alistair Todd from Calor Gas about the serious risks caused by theft and misuse of their gas cylinders.

From forklift trucks to central heating, Calor provide essential energy for businesses and for consumers - often in areas beyond the reach of conventional piped networks. While health and safety in the handling of butane and propane is of paramount importance to Calor, metal thieves who target gas cylinders put themselves and those around them at serious risk.

Metal theft is taken incredibly seriously by the Fire Service. It risks the lives of firefighters when attending fires and threatens the economic well-being of businesses and communities across Scotland.
