Even More Copper Reported Stolen in Wilton

Two separate businesses reported the theft of copper wire in Wilton last week, bringing the number of reported incidents since December up to seven.

On Jan. 3, workers at a construction site reported 23 spools of wire—18 of electrical cable and five of structural cable—were stolen. On Jan. 7, a business on Godfrey Place reported the theft of roughly $1,500 worth of copper wire.
