A short while later at 1.45am, it is believed the same man stole cable from the tracks. He then left the area in the company of a woman – who officers believe was acting as a lookout.

Anyone who was in the area at the time or who saw anyone acting suspiciously can call 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016, quoting 55 of 1 September, if you recognise either of these people or you have any other information which could help officers investigate.
