Car Theives

The car thieves continue to be busy. On Sunday night, May 28, a car was vandalized in the 5500 block of Eastside and a radio/CD player and other items were stolen.

As the price of copper increases, thieves have been more aggressive in stealing copper tubing from AC units. St. Edward�s Catholic Church, located near the Junius Heights District on Elm Street, has been hit three times. Initially over $700 of copper was stolen from one unit. The second time a unit was heavily damaged as the vandals attempted to remove the copper, and last week, the unit in the parish office was vandalized as the thieves attempted to remove the copper.
