Police are looking into the latest theft of metal drain covers and grilles after an estimated four tonnes were taken over the Easter weekend.
The metal was taken from streets in the trading estates of Ashton Vale, along South Liberty Lane and in the nearby residential roads, as well as other roads around Bedminster and South Bristol.
The full scale of the theft is still being assessed, but council road contractors CTM spent much of Easter Monday and Tuesday locating holes and covering them with cones.
