Intruders cut a wire fence to steal fuel from a military garrison, the Army has confirmed.
The incident happened at Larkhill Camp in Wiltshire on October 4 when the fence was cut and fuel stolen from a tanker belonging to a civilian contractor.
The Army said the Royal Military Police and Wiltshire Police were informed of the theft.
The crime has raised concerns about security at military bases following a breach at RAF Brize Norton.
James MacCleary MP, Liberal Democrat defence spokesman, said: "It is alarming that the Government doesn't appear to have learnt any lessons from recent security breaches at other military locations.
"It is essential for British bases to remain totally secure, which is why the Liberal Democrats are calling for a full investigation into what happened.
"The Government should also urgently commission a comprehensive review into security across all UK military bases and assets."
In a statement, the Army said: "We can confirm a security breach at Larkhill Camp on Saturday October 4 2025.
"A wire fence was cut, and fuel was stolen from a tanker belonging to a civilian contractor.
"The Royal Military Police and Wiltshire Police were informed, and no other damage or theft was discovered."
