Molino Community Center Heating, Cooling Systems Back In Business
January 12, 2014
The heating and cooling system at the Molino Community Complex was back in working order by 5 p.m. Friday.
Thursday, an Escambia County maintenance employee discovered that all of the heating and cooling system related copper tubing from underneath one side of the building had been stolen. The tubing, valued at $500-$600, was estimated to cost the county about $4,000 for repairs.
About two-thirds of the building — the community center and library — were not impacted by the crime, while the yet to be opened museum area was left without heating or cooling by the theft.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is continuing their search for a suspect in the case. Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP or the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

We had to put a locked gate and top around our new ac system too to keep someone from destroying our unit too…so sad that times have gotten this bad
Ban the sell of copper to recyclers unless you have a legitimate business license!!
Triple stranded concertina wire might help too. Sickening, that a few bucks of copper motivates dirtbags to do this kind of damage. Booooo.
People use this building for lots of meetings and uses, and rent part of it for family reunions, etc. The community should be outraged by this! It was just renovated and opened to the public and is a lovely old building and part of Molino and Escambia history.
