Today at an operational meeting in the Lutsk city executive committee, the city mayor Anton Kryvytskyi once again emphasized the problem of thefts of sewer manhole covers on the streets and accused the city department of the UMVS of inaction. Thus, as Anton Fedorovych recounted, while recently touring the city, he noticed that a sewer manhole cover had been stolen on Voli Ave in the area of School-Gymnasium No. 4. According to him, during the recent period about 300 such manhole covers have been stolen in the city. In the mayor's opinion, even if all the "private owners" who are currently building their homes had stolen one manhole cover each, this number would still be less than 300. Therefore, it is obvious that the thieves are simply selling them for scrap metal. In this context, he accused the Lutsk city department of the UMVS of "protecting" scrap metal collection points. "You are 'protecting' them!" - the Lutsk mayor accused the head of the Lutsk city department for the protection of public order, Valentyn Shpak. He also "asked" Mr. Shpak to remove a sewer manhole cover near the city police station and put it in place of the one stolen near School-Gymnasium No. 4.
