Reward offered after lead stripped from roof
A VICTIM of theft is offering a £100 reward after lead was stolen from the roof of his house.
Joe Mooney, pictured, was shocked when he discovered the piece of metal, measuring 5m by 40cm, had been taken from his Rohais home.
He believes it would be worth around £50 to £60 as scrap, but it will cost him between £800 and £1,000 to fix the damage.
There have been eight incidents of metal thefts in the last couple of months, four involving sheets of lead, three relating to brass sewage/cesspit caps and one involving copper pipes and wiring.
Lead has also been taken from the roof of a property in Hauteville, in the last two weeks.
Mr Mooney, who is a builder and runs a plant hire business, believes the lead was taken on Saturday 5 October.
'I couldn't believe it when I found the damage,' he said.
