Thieves made off with lead from the roof of Jerusalem Baptist Church in Neath Road and copper piping was also stolen from Salem Chapel in Vernon Street.

The authority was left counting the cost of piping, water storage heaters, cabling and lead flashing. Meanwhile, Swansea Council was hit with a £74,579 bill in 2011/12 for metal theft in the city. Road signs, lead, cabling and downpipes were all taken.
