Diesel theft is an escalating problem for farmers and businesses across Denmark and Europe. With fuel prices fluctuating and criminals becoming more sophisticated, securing fuel storage is more important than ever.
In Europe, fuel theft is a widespread issue. According to Risk Intelligence, 785 out of 2,313 cargo and fuel theft incidents in 2022 involved stolen fuel. The UK has seen a dramatic 77% increase in diesel theft within a year, reflecting a growing trend in organized crime targeting fuel supplies.
Denmark is also affected by this issue. South and Southern Jutland Police have received 17 reports of diesel theft in the Vejen and Haderslev municipalities since the start of the year. Many of these incidents have targeted farms, leading authorities to urge farmers to install security cameras as a deterrent. (LandbrugsAvisen)
The financial consequences of fuel theft go beyond the stolen diesel itself. Farmers and businesses face higher insurance costs, damage to fuel storage tanks, and operational disruptions that can delay production and increase expenses.
Many farmers and business owners have already invested in video surveillance as a preventive measure. However, relying on security cameras alone is not always effective. A camera can only record theft—it does not prevent it in real-time.
To effectively prevent diesel theft, businesses need real-time security measures that provide instant alerts and allow immediate action. That’s why Lindcom and TerraConnect have partnered to offer Denmark’s most comprehensive diesel theft prevention system.
TerraConnect provides high-quality security cameras that go beyond standard video recording. These cameras feature motion detection, night vision, and real-time alerts that notify owners of suspicious activity as soon as it happens. Remote access via smartphones or computers allows farmers to monitor fuel storage from anywhere, at any time.
Unlike traditional cameras that simply record events, TerraConnect’s AI-powered system actively detects threats and alerts users before a theft occurs, enabling immediate intervention.
Lindcom’s e-Stock 360 platform offers an intelligent approach to fuel monitoring and theft prevention. Using IoT-enabled sensors, e-Stock 360 continuously tracks fuel levels in diesel tanks and sends real-time notifications if an unexpected drop in fuel volume is detected.
With 24/7 access to fuel data, farmers and business owners can respond immediately to unusual fuel activity. The platform also provides valuable insights into fuel consumption trends, allowing for optimized fuel management and timely refilling to avoid operational disruptions.
Ignoring the risk of diesel theft can result in significant financial losses. A farmer losing 500 liters per month to theft could see annual losses exceeding 70,000 DKK (€9,400 / $10,200). Additionally, repeated theft attempts can lead to expensive equipment repairs and higher insurance premiums.
By integrating Lindcom’s e-Stock 360 fuel monitoring with TerraConnect’s AI-powered surveillance, businesses benefit from a multi-layered defense system that provides:
Fuel theft is becoming more sophisticated, and traditional security methods are no longer enough. Investing in intelligent video surveillance and real-time fuel monitoring through e-Stock 360 ensures that your business is protected against theft-related losses.
