Rhondda Cynon Taff Council is entering the latest phase of its anti metal theft campaign, after £80,000 worth has been stolen from school buildings, including at Tonypandy Primary School.

Children will now help use 'smart water' - which shows up under certain lights - to mark metals, making it easier to trace the materials if stolen.
