Man jailed for Worcestershire and Solihull drain cover thefts
A man has been jailed for three-and-a-half years after stealing 185 metal drain covers.
Graham Leith, 27, of High Street, Studley, admitted stealing the covers from streets in Worcestershire and Solihull, to fund a cannabis habit.
Worcester Crown Court heard Leith sold them to scrap dealers for £10 each.
They cost local councils £45,000 to replace.
