POLICE are asking for the public's help to combat Yorkshire stone thieves.
The call comes after six stone flags were stolen from Third Street, Low Moor, between 12.30am and 5am last Thursday.
Chris Joyce, West Yorkshire Police force crime prevention officer, said: "The public can play a huge part in helping us combat this type of crime by alerting us to any suspicious activity. If you have any concerns please contact police and, without putting yourself at risk, make a note of any individuals or vehicles.
"It's also important that anyone who is offered Yorkshire stone under suspicious circumstances reports the matter to police. The market for stolen goods of any description is significantly reduced if people are not prepared to look the other way.
"As well as informing local police, information can also be given to the independent crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through the anonymous online form at crimestoppers-uk.org. No personal details are taken, information cannot be traced or recorded and you will not go to court."
