Panic buyers have been filling up jerry cans in Harrow as the fuel crisis continues to cause chaos for thousands of people.
Members of Harrow Online have expressed their anger at seeing people filling up jerry cans claiming that it’s ‘irresponsible’ and ‘selfish’.
Meanwhile videos and images have been flooding in showing chaotic scenes on the roads as worried motorists queue for hours to get petrol.
Many stations including BP in Harrow Town Centre and Shell in Pinner have been forced to temporarily close.

In a statement published by the EG group, a spokesperson said: “Due to the current unprecedented customer demand for fuel and associated supply challenges we have taken the decision to introduce a limit of £30 per customer on all of our grades of fuel.
“This excludes HGV drivers and emergency services due to their vital role at this time. “This is a company decision to ensure all our customers have a fair chance to refuel and to enable our sites to carry on running smoothly.
