Gardaí in Waterford have appealed for information following the theft of equipment used for installing water meters.

It is understood the equipment was stolen from Fíodh Mór housing estate sometime between 19:00 and 23:30 on Tuesday.

Gardaí are currently in attendance at the estate as a stand off between residents and workers is ongoing.
