CALHOUN CO., Mich. (WILX) – The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a breaking-and-entering incident at River Fork Solar.
Deputies responded Monday to a report that two people had cut a padlock on a gate to access the property around 4 a.m., according to the sheriff’s office. Surveillance footage caught the individuals attempting to steal copper wire, but they appear to have abandoned the effort due to weather conditions.
This marks the third breaking-and-entering complaint at the location in the past month. Earlier incidents involved the theft of a zero-turn mower, power tools, and a large amount of copper wire.
The sheriff’s office is working to identify the individuals involved and said additional patrols will be conducted in the area as the investigation continues.
Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to contact Lt. Curtis Smith at 269-781-0880 or submit an anonymous tip through Silent Observer at 269-964-3888.
