Copper wire thieves have struck street lights in several neighborhoods, with five cases reported in recent weeks. The damage from these thefts will cost around $50,000 to repair.

City officials are asking residents to be vigilant and watch for signs of theft, such as missing panels and exposed wires. Flyers are being distributed to inform residents of what to look out for.

Further details on the thefts and the city's response are available, including comments from a public works representative on the patterns of the thieves and efforts to prevent future incidents.
