An individual, or individuals, with a strange interest in collecting hardware is causing concerns for the City of North Battleford's Public Works and Engineering Department.
According to a city press release, numerous metal valve lids and catch basins have gone missing since March throughout the city.
When valve lids and catch basins are removed, a danger is posed to the public because holes are then left on curbs and on streets, the release states. Replacement is also expensive.
The City is asking anyone who notices suspicious activity to notify the Battlefords RCMP with as many details as possible - description of the person, location, description of vehicle and licence plate number. Anyone who notices areas where valve lids and catch basins are missing can notify the Department of Public Works and Engineering at 306-445-1730.
