Title: Theft of manhole covers
Post by: sgk on September 05, 2011, 10:42:05 PM
Great to see in the news today that the boys in blue have caught the Mellor guy who was nicking manhole/grid covers throughout the local area.  The crime was discussed a little on the forum last year, here (http://www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=3340.0) and here (http://www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=3414.0).

I understand that the accused was due to appear at Manchester Crown court about the 22nd December when it was anticipated that a plea of "not guilty" might be entered, and if so the case would be remanded for trial date and for witnesses to be called

Here in Manchester the thieves cut a hole in the bottom ov vans, park over the manhole and lift up the lid unseen!
