Copper Theft Cuts Power To 30,000 In Del., Md.

BETHANY BEACH, Del. (AP) -- Delaware State police say people who scaled the fences of two power substations and stole copper wire cut power to 30,000 customers.

It happened Wednesday about 2:15 p.m. at two Delaware Power and Light power substations on the east and west sides of Kent Avenue south of Bethany Beach. Troopers say someone cut the copper grounding wires to several poles and two large transformers at both substations.
