Copper Involved In Theft

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
October 5

No, the cops aren't part of a burglary ring...but copper (the metal) was the target of thieves who raided the East Side lift station at U Cove.  During the Police Report it was revealed the bad guys stripped the emergency generator at the station of its copper cable; rendering it useless.  This happened about three weeks ago.  The generator was out of service for one week.  The Police are going to increase their surveillance of the site, as well as construction in the City.  A number of new homes are being built, the newest  two in West Ridge and Venita.  Copper plumbing and wiring could be the prize burglars seek.  It was noted during the discussion how construction sites throughout the area are having to maintain high security to protect construction.  Can you say Neighborhood Watch?
