This week’s edition of The Orcadian is available in shops and online today.

On the front page, a Kirkwall woman fears she has been the victim of a brazen theft after seeing 600 litres of heating oil disappear from her tank.

Police Scotland is now investigating the incident, which is believed to have taken place on Monday, March 16.

Also in the newspaper, a broadband blackout has “exposed the vulnerability of connectivity in the islands”.

At least 500 properties have seen their connection wiped out since the start of last week, after a break in a subsea cable between Evie and Westray.
