Lead ripped off a council's roof

A cash-strapped council is facing a �20,000 bill after thieves climbed on to the roof of its headquarters to steal lead.

Scrap metal thieves used ladders to get on to the roof of Rutland County Council's offices, in Oakham on Sunday, March 27, between 8pm-10pm.

They got away with a large amount of lead. Police are studying CCTV images from several cameras in the Catmose car park.

The council, which has had to make a �2 million cut in its budget because of government spending cuts, is talking to its insurers about the theft.

Anyone with information can contact police on 0116 222 2222.
