BUILDING site burglars are being hunted by police.

Officers have renewed an appeal for information about the theft of copper plumbing and electrical cable stolen from inside houses under construction off Beatrice Avenue, East Cowes.

The pipe was described as ten three-metre lengths of commercially available 15mm copper piping.

Police have carried out house-to-house inquiries in the area and officers want information about anyone seen acting suspiciously near the building site during the past three months.

The burglary is alleged to have taken place between January 22 and 25.

Information about suspicious second-hand sales of plumbing pipes and electrical cable can be given to Newport police on 101, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
