Members of Neighbourhood Watch, Church Watch and local residents are asked to be extra vigilant and note down the registration numbers and details of any suspicious vans/vehicles with ladders on top parked near churches.
Over the past two weeks, lead has been stolen from the roofs of three village churches in Youlgrave, Middleton (Matlock), Osmaston (Ashbourne) & Mappleton. Leek police in Staffordshire have also received several incidents of lead theft from churches in their villages.
Please pass on any information to our call centre and help to stop these thieves causing great expense to our local churches – call 0345 123 33 33.
