Keep An Eye On Your Irrigation System

Some irrigation systems in Minneapolis have copper control wires that can be quite valuable if cashed in. For thieves looking to make a quick buck, this makes your irrigation system an attractive target. In Lee County, GA, the sheriff has offered a reward for information leading to the arrest of irrigation wire thieves.

"Metal thieves strip the control wires off the top of the irrigation system. The wire is heavy duty copper that the thieves prize, but the damage costs thousands more to repair than the metal will bring the crooks. Plantation Security says they want to help the Sheriffs get the information to break the cases."

Keep a close eye on your irrigation system, and report any suspected damage to your local police department.
