Copper Wire Theft


RCMP have a theory concerning the theft of copper wire from the Lunenburg Electric Light Department . The copper wire was taken from the Town's utility trucks. One incident happened June 27th in which two chainsaws were also stolen. The other incident took place in July. In his quarterly report to Lunenburg Town Council, Corporal Derek Smith says they have not yet identified any suspects. Corporal Smith says police aren't getting a whole lot of help from scrap dealers where the wire might be sold. He says the stolen copper wire is also hard to trace.
