Charges laid in Yarmouth County copper theft

By Kevin Northup Feb 28, 2024 | 4:09 PM

Four men have been charged with stealing copper in Yarmouth County.

A break-and-enter was reported to Nova Scotia Power’s Tusket Falls site just before 1 a.m.

A van was later stopped by RCMP, and the four were arrested.

The men from Digby County were released on conditions and will be back in court in May.

Police say NS Power has been replacing copper cables with lower value material to deter thefts from happening.
