Police urge caution over scrap metal thefts

Writing in the Creeting St Peter Newsletter, the official publication of the Creeting St Peter Parish Council, a member of the Stowmarket Safer Neighbourhoods Team, PC Stefan Henriksen, warns that, following recent increases in the price paid for scrap metal, there has been an increase in thefts of such material of late.

"I would like to urge everyone to make sure that all doors and windows are always left secure, no matter how long people go out for, as well as securing sheds and any trailers or other property that might be left outside.", wrote PC Henriksen.

Anyone witnessing suspicious behaviour is urged to call 999 or, if they have information to pass on, to contact PC Henriken directly on 10473 613500.
