Police make Essex metal theft arrests
8:49pm Wednesday 8th February 2012 in News By Ryan McCarthy
POLICE arrested 14 people in Essex and Kent as part of a metal theft crackdown.
Kent Police and Essex Police teamed up today, February 8, to target metal theft across both counties.
Search warrants were executed in Grays and Romford in Essex as well as Ramsgate, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Tenterden in Kent and Canning Town in East London.
The operation, which was aimed at disrupting the illegal trade in stolen metal, also resulted in the seizure of thousands of pounds worth of lead and cable.
Ten arrests were made in Kent for offences including handling stolen goods, supplying a controlled drug and possessing a Class A drug.
In Essex, a 25-year-old man and 52-year-old man, both from Grays, were arrested on suspicion of the attempted handling of stolen goods.
A man from Romford and a man from Canning Town were arrested on suspicion of the same offence.

I don't care who these people are, or from which "community" they come from, they are criminals & must face the full force of the law.

At last the coppers get the copper keepers. The scrap metal thing has been going on for too long now. Boilers getting ripped out of homes and railways left with severe delays. I think the scrappers should demand a driving licence to be shown when cashing in scrap and the details recorded.

Talking of caravans Ockendon Paul, I have wondered whether the traveller site along Buckles Lane, Ockendon is legally allowed to be so huge.
It is bigger than Dale Farm.
