John Whiting, Assistant Director, Criminal Investigation, HMRC said:“This is fuel fraud on an industrial scale. The sheer size of this illegal operation is staggering and far exceeds anything we have ever come across before. This activity would have generated massive revenue loss as well as tonnes of toxic waste - it’s economic and environmental impact on Northern Ireland would have been considerable.“The location of this illegal operation would suggest that the fuel was destined for both sides of the border, resulting in losses to both the UK and Republic of Ireland exchequers. This operation shows the success of multi agency co-operation in tackling fuel fraud and why we will continue to work with our partners, as part of the Organised Crime Task Force, in the fight against organised crime.”A man arrested in connection with the find has been released on bail pending further enquiries. Investigations are continuing.
