Thieves have stolen nearly 7,000 Pounds worth of Scaffolding from the premises of McCrory Scaffolding, Silverwood Industrial Estate, Lurgan on Tuesday Afternoon. The Property was removed between 3:45pm and 6:45pm on Tuesday and a lorry would have been required. Lurgan detectives are appealing to anyone who may have seen the property being taken to ring them at Lurgan 325144.
(One must wonder how you would steal product designed to take up space and allow for great heights and get away with it, and also why you would do so.)

Interesting question, Chris, but actually there’s been a huge black market for scrap metal over the past number of years – always a sign of recessionary times – and anything metal (iron, steel, bronze, copper) has been targeted by thieves. There have been high profile thefts of side of the road art installations, copper piping, lead roof tiles. Police have been trying to locate the dealers who buy this stuff, but it’s a secretive network by its very nature. Farm machinery has also been targeted in far greater numbers, by the way.
