Warning after lead stolen from Derry homes

Residents living in the greater Bishop Street and Brandywell areas have been warned to be alert for lead thefts.

The warning comes from Sinn Fein Cllr Patricia Logue after a number of homes were targeted in the Glendara area in the past 24 hours.

Cllr Logue said: “These are not opportunist, small time thefts and we have had a similar spate of thefts across the district not that long ago.

“There have been a number of stories in the local press over the past few years regarding the theft of lead from homes, businesses and schools in the Derry area.”

Cllr Logue concluded: “I would urge the PSNI to put in place whatever resources are available to apprehend whoever is behind these thefts, and if the community have any information on who is responsible they should bring it forward.”
