20 Arrested, 17 More Wanted For Escambia Copper Thefts
May 9, 2012
The Escambia County Sheriff’s office has arrested 20 suspects in a copper theft ring, and deputies are still searching for 17 additional suspects.
Most of the arrests were related to copper thefts and burglaries in the West Pensacola area, according to Deputy Matt Baxter, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. None of the arrests or outstanding warrants are related to copper thefts in the North Escambia area, including incidents last year where copper was stripped from air conditioning units at the Davisville and Byrneville community centers.

I SEE ONE OF THE METAL DUDES WORKS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WHAT A SAD DAY TO LOSE A GOOD JOB FOR BEING STUPID
A fine group of citizens no doubt…I’m sure someone will say that they are misunderstood and are not bad people……They are down on their luck or they are addicts and we don’t understand what it’s like to be an addict……They don’t have jobs and whatelse are they going to do to pay their bills or eat……..Stupid is as stupid does…….
Truman Arms, Mayfair, Montclair for a fair number of them.
Interesting how over-represented some areas are in arrest reports
BTW….the tip on this came from a neighborhood watch member! And I am so glad they are in the process of catching more bad guys! Way to go LE!!! Thank you! And thank you for posting this, there was little info on it on channel 3 or any other stations I tried.
