Cops seek tips on Wilsey Road copper theft
Fredericton Police Force releases grainy security stills of suspects in Dec. 12 metal heist
Thefts of copper wire continue to be a problem in the capital region, and the Fredericton Police Force is hoping members of the public can help with an investigation from last month.
The city police force released photos through social media Wednesday of individuals and a car suspected of involvement in a theft of copper wire on Wilsey Road, on the outskirts of Fredericton’s south side, the evening of Dec. 12.
The force acknowledged the photos - which appear to be stills from a security camera or some other distant source - were of lesser quality, but it was nevertheless hoping someone might be able to identify the suspects or the vehicle.
