The theft was discovered when two plumbers were sent to inspect the roof following a severe leak that resulted in part of the Peter Pan Cabaret on the top floor of the building being flooded to a depth of about a quarter of an inch. The missing lead is valued at between £2O and £3O. All the lead flushing along the western side of the roof was torn away.
