Theft of metal in Bottesford

The thefts of scrap metal continue.

Today, roughly at noon, two white males (aged 20 - 30) stole a number of rails and other railway hardware from the verge adjacent to the Normanton Road railway crossing at Bottesford. The very large items were taken away in a purple/maroon coloured Ford Transit van, registration FX54YVJ. The rails etc were the property of Network Rail who have been working on the track on this area.

Leicestershire Constabulary asks anyone who sees that van to contact the police immediately on 0116 222 2222, or 999 if a crime is being committed at that time. Be very much aware: these men are very strong.
