MDOT COPPER THIEVES

Brian Ratliff, MDOT Chief Engineer - “We went up there and looked at the structure mounted pull box. They’re busting those apart. They’re either hooking to a vehicle with a rope tied to our copper wire that’s inside the conduit mounted to the bridges and they’re pulling it out, rolling it up and getting away.”

18 different locations this has happened to around the Jackson area, back in '22.

I remember when Obama gave some homeless people houses to live in, free and clear. Chicago I think. They immediately stripped the wiring out and sold it and anything else of value, trashed the house and turned it into a flop house.
