METAL THEFT

Theft of Metal from Church Buildings

Published September 2011 English Heritage Guidance Note


Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013

An Act to amend the law relating to scrap metal dealers


An evaluation of government/law enforcement interventions aimed at reducing metal theft

This paper summarises results of analyses which aimed to test whether the decline of metal theft from 2012 was caused primarily by the government/law enforcement interventions (See Scrap Metals Dealers Act 2013 above), or was simply due to metal prices falling back from their peak. Findings show large, statistically significant effects were caused by the former.
