Firms warned to be alert to risk from scrap metal thieves after 'brazen' lunchtime theft
A Bridgnorth business is warning traders to be alert after his CCTV caught two suspected scrap metal thieves in the act.
A man and a woman were spotted filling the back of their Ford Transit with a range of items left outside the business before driving off.
Steve Hodgson, who is the owner of Bridgnorth Kitchens & Bathrooms, says his firm in Wenlock Road was targeted in “broad daylight”.
He added his security cameras picked up a blue Transit van and its two occupants, who were “brazen” at around noon.
“They came in our yard and took scrap metal, scaffold poles, old windows, and pretty much anything else that wasn’t tied down,” he said.
He has warned other businesses in the area to remain alert over the potential risk within the area.
He said the incident had happened on Saturday, January 6.
