A third CCTV image from a service station plagued by thefts has been released within a month.

The BP Service Station in Uxbridge Road, Mill End, has been repeatedly targeted by criminals over the past month as police continue to investigate.

Staff have said that the location, which has an M&S Simply Food branch within it, has long had an issue with thefts but in the last two or three months the number has ramped up and become a “bad problem”.
