fuel card abuses in the foreground
The Austrian police is looking with concern at the increase of the fuel tax increase in fuel prices because it is feared that the crime rate in the new year around the fuel theft increase even further. The documents submitted by police figures from the first three quarters of 2010 for 2011 have nothing good guess: 3892 crimes around the event fuel theft had to edit the police authorities in Austria in this period. The comparison with the same period in 2009 has for the past year 2010, an increase of 11.4% (3493 crimes).
Also in the crime detection rate in this segment can not be reported positive comparable figures: in 2009 were still 46.4% of the cases investigated, the identification rate dropped in 2010 to 44.2%. Also Piekniczek Alexander, managing director of the Association Garages, petrol stations and service station enterprises of Commerce, warns against the rise in fuel thefts this year: "Experience shows that prices rise, so does the crime".
Whoever thinks of fuel theft in the first place in the event of Wegfahrdiebstahls at service stations must know that hiding behind the above figures mainly offenses around the fuel card fraud. The police are aware of the scam, act with which criminals: They break into parked unobserved truck, make use of the cab deposited fuel cards, drag them through a reader and note the code used by many drivers in reckless manner is recorded in the immediate vicinity of the fuel cards. The record is thus obtained by criminal gangs loaded onto new fuel cards, which now for many weeks the fuel bills unnoticed locally paid at the pump. The thieves go to so skillfully that the driver of the truck involved anything about the intrusion of the uninvited guests notice in their vehicle. Only after the end of the billing period between the card companies and freight forwarders, the trick of fraud are detected. excluded
