GLOUSTER - Athens County
Sheriff Patrick
Kelly said Thursday a Verizon
employee reported
the
theft of approximately
150 feet of copper wire. The
theft is thought
to have
occurred between Aug.
8 and Sept 4 on Antle Orchard
Road, approximately
1 mile from
Route 13 near Glouster.
Deputy Tabler reported
the ground wire was outside of the control office and entry was gained
by cutting the fence on the southeast corner
of the compound. Subjects entered then removed all copper wire that was
accessible, including the bus ground. The
thieves had to climb a tower to disconnect the wire. Other gauge wire
appeared to be cut by bolt cutters.
No service was interrupted by the
theft. Photos
and statement taken of the site and the case remains under investigation.
