Birmingham broker could leave the city

Birmingham-based Adler Insurance Brokers are considering leaving the city after lead thieves caused £10,000 of damage, according to the Birmingham Post.

Thieves stole lead from Adler's roof twice in six weeks. Adlers say the cost is unmanageable and could force them to move from the area.

Lead theft has been rising in the city because it is valuable to sell on.
