Lead Theft

Lead theft is currently spiralling out of control and with the cost of lead set to remain at record highs, the problem shows no sign of going away soon.

Lead theft: Nobody is immune

Lead is just too valuable for would-be-thieves and nobody is immune to being a victim of lead theft.

To stop lead theft you need to do two things:

1) Reduce the resale value of the stolen lead - by painting the lead with SelectaDNA Grease you suddenly make the lead hot property - nobody wants to go near it and its value on the open market drops.

2) Increase the risk of being caught with stolen lead - if a suspect is stopped and scanned for SelectaDNA Grease, Police have immediate evidence that the lead thief has been up to no good. Police can then forensically analyse the perpetrator and the stolen lead and link the suspect to the crime scene.

SelectaDNA Grease comes in 50ml, 100ml, 200ml and 500ml sized pots.
