PAVING slabs have been stolen from two streets in York.
The stones were taken from St George’s Place and St Paul’s Terrace, in Holgate, over the weekend, and neighbourhood services teams from City of York Council were called in to make the pavements safe.
The council has now asked residents to contact police if they believe more stone is being stolen.
Martin Horner, head of civil engineering, said: “Council teams can be easily identified because they will arrive at the site of the work in a City of York Council-liveried vehicle and will be able to provide proof of identification.
“All bona fide work will be carried out within normal working hours and anybody wanting to report further instances of missing stone should phone the council on 01904 551550.”
Anybody with information about stone thefts can phone North Yorkshire Police on 0845 6060247.
