Police in Shropshire are appealing for information about scrap metal thefts.
On Saturday 6 January, police were called to a property in Manor Lane Farm in Bridgnorth after a man attempted to take a battery on a driveway. He was challenged and left empty handed.
As part of enquiries into the attempted theft a van was searched and radiators and other scrap metal recovered by police.
A 52-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted theft and has since been bailed.
PC Rory Austin said: “If anyone has information about a white ford transit van travelling around the Bridgnorth area on Saturday 6 January, collecting scrap metal or has dashcam/ ring doorbell footage of the van I would ask they email me on rory.austin@westmercia.police.uk or by calling 07870219584 quoting incident number 22/1626/24.”
Anyone with information they do not wish to pass to police can contact the anonymous charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or Crimestoppers (crimestoppers-uk.org)
