"A significant amount of lead had been stolen from the roof, and an area search was carried out but no arrests were made.

"Enquiries are ongoing at this stage and we are keen to hear from anyone who was in the West Street area last night and saw any suspicious vehicles or activity, or has any dash cam footage which could help our investigation.
