The town of Hillsborough has asked residents to report anyone they see who may be stealing manhole covers, storm grates or meter box lids following several thefts.

In separate incidents, two manhole covers, which individually weigh about 100 to 200 pounds and are valued at about $100 each, were stolen from behind Heritage Apartments.

Five steel storm grates, valued at $1,900, were stolen from around Hillsborough in two separate incidents last fall.

If residents see anyone without a town uniform or vehicle with a town logo taking these metal items, they should call 911.
