St Petre   80 #1 Posted June 11, 2019 A few years ago in Sheffield-perhaps 1990s- there was a lot of scrap metal that was 'misappropriated, leading to court actions and guilty people (including serving policemen) being incarcerated. As I didn't live in Sheffield at the time-therefore a bit skint on the detail- is there anywhere I can read about this ,  newspaper reports, books etc ?
