Historic England took part in a metal theft conference last week, posting some of the headline information on their Twitter feed, revealing some shocking statistics on the level of issue for listed buildings: 200 attacks a day take place.
The conference was part of Pol-PRIMETT II, a European police-private partnership to tackle metal theft.
Impact must be measured in terms of the technical and emotional aspects of the crime. https://t.co/2ATwBEe0Wh
