What Can Our Tamper and Theft Detection Services Do For You?
Tamper and theft of gas involve illegal actions to manipulate or bypass gas systems for unauthorised use or to avoid payment. These activities not only disrupt billing but also pose significant safety risks to people and property.

How Tampering and Theft Happen?
1. Meter Tampering
Individuals may interfere with the mechanisms inside a gas meter to reduce usage readings or bypass the meter entirely.
2. Unauthorised Connections
Illegal tapping into gas supply networks to draw gas without a registered account is a common form of theft.
3. Fraudulent Activity
Manipulating meter readings or impersonating legitimate users to gain free or discounted access to gas supplies.

Why Is It Dangerous?
1. Safety Risks
Tampering often leads to gas leaks, which can cause fires or explosions. This endangers not only the person tampering but also the surrounding properties and lives.
2. Financial Loss
Gas theft leads to lost revenue for suppliers, which can result in higher costs for paying customers.
3. Legal Consequences
Under UK law, tampering and theft of gas are criminal offences. Those caught can face prosecution, heavy fines, or even imprisonment.
