The Derbyshire Rural Crime Team has reported that they are seeing a rise in thefts from churches across the county.
They said that, largely, thieves have been targeting churches in order to steal flag stones and lead.
A DRCT spokesperson said: “If you see anything suspicious around a church, please report it on 101, or 999 if it's happening there and then.
“If you think it's suspicious, it probably is.”
