Blyth Banstand - lead stolen...

[5150]

I see in the news that some pikey scum has nicked all the new leadwork that had been put up on the bandstand as part of the restoration.
Reckon it must have taken them at least 3hrs - can't believe there was no-one at all around to spot them, even in the middle of the night.

Lead Stolen From Palace Roof (from The Northern Echo)

god there must be some pirks on the wrecks in the north sea - seriously though the third article is the concerning one they actually targeted the buterwick hospice. B%$T£RDS!!!!

in this day and age who on earth puts lead on roofs with all the other products available and a lot cheaper

You would think they would have learned.
The stainless steel in the new park water features was nicked last year

What gets me is the number of berks trying to steal cable from substations and getting fried for their efforts!

I'm suprised Blyth hadn't put camera's up when the work began on the whole area around there, it's going to be a prime target for low-lifes.

Lee theres a house near-by that has camera's up,i wonder if the police gave them a knock,not sure if they cover that area but could be useful.
