Copper wire thefts plaguing Lawrence County

(From the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office)

The Lawrence County Sheriff's Office has taken multiple reports of copper wire thefts throughout the county. These thefts are occurring near power poles in the rural portions of the county.

The Sheriff's Office is asking for residents to be on the look out for vehicles parked near power poles that are not official utility company vehicles. Most utility vehicles will be marked with official company logos such as "Empire Electric", "REA" or similar markings. Employees will also be in official uniform gear.

If you see unmarked vehicles near power poles, please try and obtain a description of the vehicle and/or a license plate number and contact 911 immediately.
