Police in Selby are investigating the theft of a bridge.

The bridge is the same as the one shown in the middle of the photograph which is already in place (note: the stolen bridge does not have handrails)

It was taken overnight between Thursday 17 February and Friday 18 February from a holding yard near to Euro Auctions on Roall Lane, Kellington where it was being stored on the back of a trailer for an articulated lorry .

The steel foot bridge measures 3ft 6in wide and weighs approximately 10.5 tonnes and valued at around £25,000. It was on the back of a 40ft trailer.



Police Constable Steve Armitage, of Selby police, said: "The pedestrian foot bridge has been constructed to be used in a shopping centre currently being built in Leeds.

"I am asking that if anyone saw the bridge being stolen or knows where it was taken to they contact me as soon as possible as I need to speak to them."



If you can help with locating the bridge or know the people responsible for the theft please

People will steal anything nowadays. I heard of drain hole covers being 'lifted' and sold for scrap.

Just a question. How could a 25,000 foot bridge be stored on the back of a 40 foot Articulated lorry trailer?

If it is taken out of England it will be easily identified as it will be the only one with a toll booth on it !
