One suspect has been arrested and approximately 20,000 lbs
of copper buss bars and wire have been recovered as the result of an alert
issued on November 10, 2014, by AT&T Security. The alert was for approximately 50 lbs of
stolen copper materials valued at $5,000 from facilities in Goodlettsville,
TN. On November 26, 2014, Southern
Recycling, Inc., of Bowling Green, KY, contacted Bowling Green Police after
recognizing stolen property based on the AT&T alert. Further investigation by the Goodlettsville
Police Department tied the suspect to 25 thefts in multiple Tennessee jurisdictions
and the recovery of the additional copper materials.
