Theft from Churches

Saltby Church is the latest church to have reported the theft of articles.  The theft was probably carried out on Thursday night or Friday morning (5/6 June).  Churches are advised to remove all valuable items (particularly metal ones) or keep the church locked when not occupied.  It has been pointed out that metal plaques, which may illustrate the history the church or parish, are also being stolen from church walls.
 
Members of the public are asked to be particularly vigilant for suspicious activity around churches and to report such incidents immediately to Leicestershire Constabulary on 0116 222 2222, and then to the Church.
