Copper Theft at Northwestern Rural Electric Co-op

Mark Cowan

by Mark Cowan

There’s a warning out for people trying to get their hands on copper wiring to sell for money. It’s after more than one person stole copper from a substation in the Cochranton area, putting people who work at that substation, at risk.

The Northwestern Rural Electric Co-operative substations, like the one that was broken into, have keep out signs all around.

The recent copper theft happened between April 1 – May 1 and that the thieves left with less than $100 worth of copper.  Northwestern Rural Electric says the secure fencing are there to protect the public and ensure substation safety
