JAMESTOWN – City Police are investigating a series of larcenies involving the theft of wire from the Jamestown Fire Department’s box alarms.
According to a recent police report, the person or people involved is reportedly using a bucket truck to access the wires on the poles. They are then disconnecting and cutting the wire for theft. Last week, city police investigated a theft in the areas of Isabella Avenue, Clinton Street, Lafayette Street and West 10th Street, where it is estimated that about 1000 feet of wire was removed from the poles. When the wire was cut it triggered a notification with the Jamestown Fire Department, which then sent a maintenance crew that discovered the larceny.
Police are asking for the public’s assistance with the investigation by calling the JPD at 483-7537 or 483-TIPS.
