Manhole cover thieves make their move and steal 17 covers: ‘They hardly yield anything’

No fewer than seventeen manhole covers, 29 gutters and fifteen manhole covers suddenly disappeared from the streets of Maarssen, Breukelen, Loenersloot and Nieuwer Ter Aa in the past three weeks. The thieves left gaping, dangerous holes. Who steals the lids is a mystery. And why are they after manhole covers?
