End of X postDrain cover thieves 'putting public at risk'published at 14:20 GMT 8 November 2018
Gavin Bevis
BBC NewsThieves who've been stealing drain covers from Derbyshire's roads are putting the public's safety at risk, the council has said.
At least 60 gully lids have been taken from roads in the county over the past week, leaving exposed drops of about 1.20 metres in some cases.
The thieves have struck in Borrowash, Draycott, Long Eaton, Ockbrook, Risley, Sandiacre and Sawley - leaving Derbyshire County Council with a £15,000 bill to replace them.
Simon Spencer, cabinet member for highways, transport and infrastructure, said: "We believe they are being stolen and then traded for scrap metal, even though they are not worth that much.
"But the thefts leave gaping holes which are putting road users at serious risk.”
Derbyshire Police have urged anyone with information to call 101.
