Ceraphi geothermal site control panel break in

Malton, 8th January 2025

CeraPhi Energy is issuing an important public safety notice after its gas well site at Great Habton (Malton 1) near Malton, was recently broken into and ransacked. The break-in, which occurred sometime within the past two weeks, involved a significant theft of materials and the destruction of safety equipment. The perpetrators, appear to have been well-equipped and have left little trace of their actions.

Local authorities have conducted a full investigation at the site, Police Crime Scene Investigation teams have visited the premises and are reviewing the CCTV evidence. The criminals will have used vans or trucks to transport the stolen equipment, raising concerns that this could be part of a broader series of targeted thefts.

As a result, CeraPhi Energy would like to alert the community to raise awareness and encourage vigilance. Given the nature of the crime, there is a real risk that other sites and local properties may be targeted in the future. The Police have suggested that farmers, businesses, and residents in the area to be on alert for any unusual activity.

Gary Williams, COO of CeraPhi Energy said “We want to make the local community aware of this situation and ask that everyone remains vigilant. If anyone notices anything suspicious, such as unfamiliar vehicles or people in the area, we urge them to report it immediately to the local Police. By staying alert and working together, we can help prevent further crimes and ensure the safety of our sites and surrounding properties.”

For more information or to report any tips, please contact your local Police station.
