Scrap Metal (Neighbourhood Alert issued 9th Nov 2011) The demand for scrap metal is still rising and coincides with the increased number of reports of lead and copper thefts on the Division. The trend exists for vehicles, mainly transits and open back goods vehicles, to cruise the streets looking for opportunities to acquire metals from skips and surrounding areas. These opportunities will be taken often without seeking permission of the person in lawful control of the property. To legitimately carry out this type of activity a waste carriers licence is also required. See above (No more cash for scrap) for latest change to the law affecting cash metal trade.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact the police on 101 or anonymously on the CrimeStoppers number of 0800 555 111.
