Maritime Electric is urging Islanders to call Crime Stoppers to report any information on a recent rash of copper thefts from its sub-stations.
Thieves have broken into sub-stations in Lorne Valley, West St. Peter’s, Dingwells Mills, Scotchfort and Souris. The company says these thefts put its employees and the thieves themselves at great risk of death or being seriously injured.
Maritime Electric is offering a reward of $5000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the thief/thieves.
