Petition HARSHER SENTENCING FOR THIEVES OF METAL FROM WAR MEMORIALS AND PLACES OF WORSHIP

More details

There has been much concern about the recent spate of reports of metal thefts from war memorials and places of worship with recent thefts such as the four foot bronze statue of a World War Two soldier from its plinth at Tidworth. This petition calls upon the Government to review sentencing guidelines for those convicted of involvement in both the theft and the disposal of metal stolen from war memorials and places of worship to reflect public feeling of the abhorrence of this crime.
