San Jose Police Arrest Two in Theft of Copper Wiring

Something that is apparently becoming a trend, as the price of copper rises....

Leslie Griffy writes in The Mercury News:

San Jose police snared two alleged copper thieves Wednesday night in a sting at a Pacific Gas & Electric facility near downtown.

Lance Grahn, 36, and Marlene Dortch, 39, were arrested as they allegedly attempted to make off with 200 pounds of copper wiring, San Jose police officer Erik Hove said.

The arrest came after five officers, at different vantage points of the facility, staked out the location on reports from PG&E officials of an ongoing problem of copper theft.
