Investigators say he cut through fences to access the equipment, and he’s now jailed with a $125,000 bond. The thefts, tied to rising copper demand from tech and renewable energy growth, carry felony charges including injury to an energy facility. Authorities warn these crimes ripple to consumers, and even remote sites are vulnerable targets in today’s high-demand copper market.
