Police detain two for ‘rooftop thefts’

Police in the district of Prague 1 on Friday detained two men, possibly homeless, on suspicion of stealing metal from building rooftops. In two incidents, witnesses informed the police they heard sounds of someone on the roof. One incident took place in V Cípu street, another across from Kramář villa, used for meetings by the prime minister. It is believed the men stole copper covers to later try and sell. The police are currently evaluating the cost of the material taken.
