Police are on the lookout for copper thieves who have been stealing wires from street lights on highways. Officer Leland Ashley says there have been at least a half dozen reports recently of copper wire thefts. He says it presents a hazard to citizens by reducing needed highway lighting and also can be dangerous for the thieves themselves.
It’s also costly for the city of Tulsa to have to repair the lights. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 918-596-COPS.
