Pincher Creek RCMP arrest pair for copper thefts
Mounties in Pincher Creek have laid charges against two men believed to be linked to a string of recent copper thefts.
46-year-old Johannes Jorgensen from Lundbreck and Daniel Price, 57, of Pincher Creek were arrested Monday night after a call to police of two individuals stripping wire from a wind turbine.
RCMP contend the thefts have resulted in several hundred thousand dollars in damage and have impacted drinking-water supplies.
Charges against the pair include break and enter, theft over $5,000, possession of break-in instruments and two offences under the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act.
Jorgensen and Price are scheduled to appear in the Alberta Court of Justice in Pincher Creek on Nov. 30.
