No details were provided about how the alleged thefts were carried out or how the copper wire was identified.
The stated amount is more than $360,000 in copper wire. The information does not explain how that figure was calculated or whether it refers to an estimated value, a loss claimed by a project owner, or another measure. No additional financial details were provided.
