According to the police, diesel thefts have increased sharply as diesel prices have risen.

Many industries are at risk, including the agricultural sector which is completely dependent on its machines for the production of crops and other things.

The transport industry is another exposed industry.

The construction sector is grappling with the same problem.

For the city of Västerås, which in its own organization builds and constructs and also hires a number of subcontractors, the problem is very tangible.

- We do everything we can to prevent it, but unfortunately it becomes a bit too much, and it is above all our suppliers of excavators and trucks who are the big losers, says Fredrik Wikström.
