POLICE in Fort William are appealing for information after a quantity of copper piping and fittings were stolen from Glen Nevis Youth Hostel.
The thieves forced their way into the building, which sits off the C1162 road through Glen Nevis, sometime between 7.30pm on Thursday January 18, and 7.20am on Friday January 19. The pipes, which are in a range of sizes, were stored in the building in bundles. These have been removed along with boxes of industrial fixings.
Constable Ishbel Eunson said: ‘We are asking anybody who was in Glen Nevis around this time and saw anything suspicious, whether people or a vehicle, to pass this information on. I would also urge anybody who is offered copper for sale to be aware of this theft and to let us know.
