An attempted burglary at a house in the village

We

are

investigating

criminal

damage

to

St

Cassians

Church

,

Chaddesley

Corbett

and

are

appealing

to

local

residents

for

information.

The

theft

has

taken

place

sometime

between

late evening on Sunday 15th and Monday 16th

.

We

believe

that

the

thieves

were

after

lead

flashing,

but

after

having

it

stolen

some

years

ago

the

church

had

replaced

it

with

an

alternative

product.

However

this

has

not

stopped

the

thieves

from

stealing

copper

and

causing

a

substantial

and

costly

amount

of

damage

in the process. Here are two images of the damage caused_
