State Police Warns About Copper Thefts From Irrigation Systems

Location: State of Delaware, primarily in Sussex County
Date of Occurrence: Ongoing
Suspect(s): Unknown

Resume:
State Troopers from Troop 7 responded to a residence in Frankford Yesterday at which time the homeowner reported and unknown suspect(s) attempted to steal the copper tubing / wiring from his irrigation system. This is the third report in recent weeks of the same type of theft in the Frankford area.

Because of the nature of this particular crime, it is difficult for homeowners to secure their property. The best prevention is to have homeowners and neighbors look out for one another. Should someone plan on having work done on their irrigation system, they should let their neighbors know so that one would expect workers on the property. This way, if an unfamiliar or unexpected subject is seen in the area pulling from an irrigation system, the police can be called.

As always, tips regarding this type of crime can be submitted directly to any State Police Troop or via Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

Copper has once again gained relative market value to the U.S. Dollar. All attempts to manipulate the prices of copper, silver and gold will ultimately fail as people world-wide are realizing the insanity of fiat currencies.

Reserve Banks in all countries are attempting to keep people out of real money so they can continue printing their phony money without reprisals.
