POLICE cars have been seen outside a petrol garage in Worcester this afternoon as long queues for fuel continue throughout the city.
Officers appear to be controlling traffic on Tolladine Road outside the Texaco garage.
This comes as police tweet a warning telling people to 'act responsibly'.
We are aware of queuing drivers at some petrol stations which in some areas is causing congestion.

Queues have also been spotted at the Essar garage on Henwick Road.
Motorists in Malvern were queuing for fuel at 6am this morning and one garage in Powick has completely run out of petrol due to 'panic buying' despite having just had a delivery.
