North Somerset Council has issued an appeal after nearly 40 drain covers were stolen from roads in Nailsea, Wraxall and Wrington in three days.
Nates Lane, Bristol Road, Trendlewood Way, Nailsea Park and Spindleberry Grove have all been targeted by gully cover thieves in the past few days in what has been jokingly called the 'Grate Drain Robbery.' North Somerset Travel and Roads is urging people with information about the thefts to come forward and 'help us catch those responsible'.
"We’re working closely with Avon and Somerset Police but we’re also asking anyone with information they think may be useful to please get in touch with the Police or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 to help us catch those responsible," it said in a statement.
