A SKIP was emptied and stolen from outside a business in Radlett at the weekend.

Police are appealing for information and witnesses about the theft in Watling Street between 5pm on Friday last week and 7am the following Monday.

Detective Sergeant Cath Hart said: “This is quite an unusual crime. I am sure that someone would have seen the skip being removed because of its size and because it would have taken some time to remove it. You may have thought it was being taken legitimately but I would urge you to think back and recall any suspicious people or vehicles you may have seen in the area.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 0845 33 00 222 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
