Police warning after paving flag thieves target homes on FIVE streets for valuable York stone
A gang of paving flag thieves is being hunted by police after homes on FIVE streets were targeted for valuable York stone, it's been revealed. Police chiefs are appealing for information and any witnesses after what they called a 'spate' of recent thefts.
The warning has been issued in the Crompton area of north Bolton. Police there said they have received reports that York stone paving flags have been stolen on Astley Street, Norton Street, St Augustine Street, Cloister Street and Wilmot Street in the area.The warning comes after the Manchester Evening News told how a woman was stunned to wake up and find her garden path had been dug up - targeted by thieves she says for its valuable York stone paving - in Whitefield, near Bury.
The Manchester Evening News has highlighted a number of York stone thefts over the years, with church grounds and private pathways all being targeted. Thieves ripped up and stole flags from outside Grade I-listed St Mary's Church in Prestwich two years ago. "In recent weeks, we have received reports that York stone paving flags have been stolen around the Crompton area. The locations targeted include Astley Street, Norton Street, St Augustine Street, Cloister Street and Wilmot Street.
