FIREFIGHTERS were called to a diesel spillage in Croydon this morning (Friday) after thieves tried to steal fuel from a van.
The crew from Norbury Fire Station was called to the car park in Granville Gardens at about 8am, where they found holes drilled into the underneath of the white Transit.
A crew member, who preferred not to be named, said the driver first noticed the missing diesel after starting the vehicle up, noticing an empty fuel gauge.
Four fire fighters attended the clean-up before notifying the police.
