FIVE people have been arrested on suspicion for stealing lead from a Bromsgrove school.

Four men and a youth were arrested on suspicion of theft at Redgrove School, Shaw Lane, Stoke Prior, yesterday evening (Tuesday, September 16).

All five remain in custody at Kidderminster and Redditch police stations.

The arrests were carried out under the force's Project Livewire, an initiative to tackle metal theft across the force area.

Around 200 people have been arrested since the start of the campaign in July 2007.
