Metal thieves in Crookes again

[WeX 10]

Just to warn people, the usual suspects are trawling the streets of Crookes again today. I saw them at 7am as I passed through. They appeared to be looking through gardens.

Our neighbour has been driving about in various old flat bed white trucks over the last few weeks, he’s turned up with scaffolding, fridges, freezers, bikes, garden furniture, he’s dodgy to say the least, when he first moved in with his girlfriend he used to have various scooters for a couple of days a time, they used to be regularly swapped, then he progressed onto smaller cars and vans, now he’s into scrap! We live in S20. I don’t have a clue of his name but he’s in his late teens early twenties and has just shaved his hair off which was a dirty blonde colour, he’s about 5’10 thin with distinctive buck teeth.

No but I was driving at the time, plus I have called them about it in the past and they haven't even bothered to respond to me, so its a waste of time. Better that people know they are about and can take precautions to prevent them stealing your stuff. Rather than telling the police only for them to arrive 4 hours later after they have gone.
