Between
18 and 22 May a theft of four large sluice gates were stolen from the
River Derwent between the new A6 bypass and the rear of the Celanese
Plant, Spondon. CR/22508/12. This location is a remote area of the City,
but dog walkers or those who like to walk may have passed by this
location during the relevant times.
These
gates weigh between 8 and 9 tonnes, and it’s believed that they will be
weighed in as scrap metal.
The cost to replace these gates maybe in the region of £10k plus and this would have taken time, equipment and suspects to remove these items.
If
you have any information or details of suspects to assist the Police
with their enquiries please contact Pc 2679 Brendan Lockett at Cotton
Lane Police Station on 101
