Over 30 neon traffic cones were stolen from the traffic circle which is currently under construction at the Somerset Street, Cradock Road and Worcester Street intersection.
Norman Rielly, appointed traffic officer on the site, said 32 cones have been stolen since the weekend. After a tip-off, Rielly went with the police and recovered a few of the cones from a student digs, as well as other street signs not belonging to them.
Rielly warned that if caught red-handed, students could find themselves being expelled from the university as this is a criminal offence.
Without the cones in place, serious confusion can be caused by motorists, as one side of the street has been closed because the last third of the circle is under construction. Rielly said by stealing the signs, it endangers the lives of other road-users.
