South Sacramento, CA | Per SacPD, copper theft crimes are becoming common place.
Early Monday morning, SacPD was called to Payless Shoes on Stockton Blvd across KMart, for a ringing alarm. It turns out that the ringing alarm was a water flow alarm that was activated when thieves attempted to strip the store of it’s outer and roof top copper pipes. During the attempt, they broke a water line that activated the water flow alarm.
