Melton rural areas: scrap metal merchants

December 11th, 2009 | Posted by Admin

There have been a number of incidents in recent days of scrap metal merchants knocking on doors. If they don’t get an answer, they have been reported entering back gardens. In Waltham, a group were challenged by a local farmer when he found them going through a skip on someone else’s property.

Hugh Crouch from Melton Police is also warning that there has been an increase in the amount of copper cable being stolen from remote locations – particularly around the Redmile area.

Please call Leicestershire Constabulary on 0116 222 2222 to report any suspicious activity.
