Attempted Scrap Metal Thefts in Bingham
Reports are being received about repeated attempted metal thefts near the White Lion in Bingham. A male aged 45-55 wearing a black leather trilby-type hat and driving a distinctive orange Transit van, registration number believed to be YM53 CKK, has been seen entering a building site and helping himself to anything that the builders have forgotten to put away. He drives off if approached. He has been seen on at least four occasions by three different people most recently at 5:50pm Wed 14th March.
We are circulating this alert in case he spreads his activities into the Bottesford or surrounding area. Nottinghamshire police have been alerted and anyone seeing this person/van acting suspiciously should report it to the police on 101.
