POLICE are warning land owners to security-mark metal gates where possible following a series of thefts in rural West Norfolk.
In the past week, metal gates have been stolen from fields and premises in West Walton and Walpole Highway.
A set of wrought iron gates were also stolen from a home in St Germans, believed stolen as scrap metal.
Sgt Sam Pontin, from Terrington Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: "It is sometimes difficult to effectively secure gates and they are often in the most rural of locations.
