It is believed the suspect may be linked to the theft of metal pieces stolen off Millennium Bridge. According to Grant Frost, of Excellerate Services, two suspects were first spotted on Saturday evening attempting to steal metal pieces off the famous bridge.
“The suspects had stolen some pieces of metal from the bridge and our control room spotted the suspects on our CCTV footage. A vehicle was sent out to the scene where a search of the area resulted in the discovery of a bag full of clothing and metal parts from the bridge. Our offices monitored the area over the next few hours and their persistence was rewarded.
