Theft of copper is an on-going problem in northeastern Ontario. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) released a warning in regards to the possibilities of theft in early November. There has been at least one theft in the Sudbury region since that release.
Copper is used to ground electrical equipment to avoid the risk of electrocution and shorts. Theft of grounding wires puts thieves, hydro workers, and general public at risk.
Anyone with information about Beaudry and Richards are asked to contact the Greater Sudbury police at 675-9171, or Sudbury Rainbow Crime Stoppers at 675-8477.
