Baltimore-MD-Area Copper Thief Goes Up In Flames

The guy is the latest casualty trying to steal copper wiring to take to scrap metal dealers.

He had cut into a still-charged 220-volt electrical panel in an empty building.

Copper theft is a nationwide problem. At around $3.50 per pound- people are stealing anything with copper in it. Another fellow in Ohio also paid a steep price.

A number of local organizations and businesses have seen things like entire central air conditioner units stolen for the valuable scrap metal.
