Vandalism on any scale is both costly and inconvenient for all involved, but when it comes to demolition machinery the costs can be huge and jobs will be delayed or in the worst cases lost.
Thomas Crompton, owner of a Bradford-based demolition firm has recently experienced a very costly arson attack on his machinery and wants to ensure the person responsible gets convicted.
The machine targeted was a new high-reach with a value of £330,000. The arsonist also took the time to break into an office and steal £5,000 worth of computer hardware. All done on a secure site monitored by CCTV.
Mr Crompton has had to ship in a new high-reach from Belgium to continue the job, but is asking for people to come forward with information that would help gain a conviction. In return, anyone providing such information is in line for a reward.
According to Mr Crompton:
We are offering a substantial reward for information leading to the conviction of the person or persons responsible. We don’t want to let our customers down and we have got a replacement machine coming from Belgium so that none of our contracts are affected.
The arson was carried out at around 9pm on Monday 4th January in Heckmondwike. Anyone with information is asked to contact Dewsbury CID on 0845 6060606.
