POLICE in Northwich have charged a Rudheath man suspected of stealing petrol from garages across Vale Royal.
They arrested the 26-year-old in the early hours of last Thursday and charged him with theft from Woodlands Garage, on Runcorn Road, Barnton, on September 13.
A further 12 offences will be taken into consideration when the man appears before magistrates at Northwich tomorrow, Thursday.
The move follows weeks of groundwork by the Community Action Team, detectives and firms.
Sgt James Rowe said: "Lots of hard work has gone into this investigation and I'd like to thank everyone involved for their input.
"I can reassure Northwich businesses and residents that this type of commitment and dedication goes into all our work and that will continue.
"People need to be aware that although they don't always see and hear about our efforts, they are being made."
