JETTY GRATING recently stolen from the jetty at Four Springs Lake has been replaced and the jetty has been reopened for use.

The thieves caused the jetty to be closed for use for at least a fortnight because it was dangerous to use, after Inland Fisheries Service staff noticed the grating was missing on September 10.

It appeared the brackets were deliberately unscrewed and a police investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information should contact Deloraine Police on 131444 or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers at crimestopperstas.com.au or on 1800 333 000.
