Forty metres of copper piping has been stolen in a burglary on the outskirts of Londonderry city centre.
The burglary occurred at the weekend at the bottom of Academy Road.

“It will have taken some time to remove the piping and possibly a vehicle to convey it elsewhere. It is possible that somebody may have noticed something suspicious, if not the actual removal.”
