News  »  Theft of lead from church roofs

We have been advised by the police of a number of thefts of lead from church roofs locally over the past few weeks. The thefts are significant and have occurred at night, and it is extremely likely that the thieves will continue to target churches in the area until the price of lead drops.

If you notice any suspicious activity around the churchyard, such as vans or trailers visiting after dusk, please contact the police on 101 (or 999 if it is happening there and then) so that they have the opportunity to investigate.
