Police are searching for the suspects believed to be involved in stealing large quantities of building materials from two separate properties.
A Marble Hill resident reported the theft of 4,819 pieces of 6-inch concrete blocks from a site at Friars Hill Road. This incident occurred sometime between August 20 and September 8, 2024.
Similarly, a resident of Liberta reported that someone stole three, 5-gallon buckets of paint, 40 boxes of 12-inch tiles, and a meter base from a building under construction at Buckleys. This incident occurred between September, 7 and 8. Further investigations are ongoing into the reports.
Meanwhile, police are cautioning those involved in stealing building materials or other criminal activities to desist from doing so.
Members of the public are further warned not to purchase suspected stolen items from anyone. If you have information on these or other crimes, kindly contact the nearest police station or call the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913.
It’s almost as if we are living in a world where everything must go, imagine buying your materials for building your house or whatever and people just coming to take it from you. These things cost money, you don’t even know how these people go about getting these things.
