Copper sought by coppers – North Rocks - Police are seeking assistance from the public after a large amount of copper pipe and valuable fittings were stolen from a storage facility at North Rocks overnight. Officers from The Hills Local Area Command were called to the plumbing supply business in Loyalty Road North Rocks about 4.20am today (Tuesday 11 March 2014). A short time later, bystanders discovered a nearby trailer, which was heavily laden with copper pipe, that had been involved in a collision. Witnesses have told police that the dual axel trailer which was being towed by a gold Holden sedan appeared to jack knife in the street. This resulted in the six metre lengths of copper pipe hitting the road and causing the trailer to lift off the ground. A second vehicle and trailer attended the location and two men unhitched the trailer from the Holden. The Holden drove away leaving the trailer in the Loyalty Road. The second man returned to his vehicle, believed to be a white Holden Rodeo or Mazda Bravo. This vehicle was also towing a double axled trailer with a cage on it. The vehicle and trailer were last seen on North Rocks Road travelling towards Parramatta. Investigators are still obtaining the full details of stock that has been stolen but believe that at least 22, eight inch copper pipes in six metre lengths were taken along with a large quantity of brass fittings. Detectives from The Hills LAC have urged anyone with information about the two men, two vehicles and trailers involved in the incident to come forward. Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www1.police.nsw.gov.au/.
