TWO men were cautioned for theft after being found in possession of lead flashing.

The men, aged 19 and 23, were stopped by police in Baggallay Street, Hereford, on December 26, and were found to have lead flashing which had been removed from the old Whitecross High School.

The caution comes as West Mercia police continue to tackle metal theft as part of Project Livewire.
