LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council has approved a reward program intended to curb copper wire thefts and make progress in arresting suspects involved in those crimes.
In a 10–2 vote on June 28, council members moved to implement a tiered reward offer program for crimes involving the theft of city plaques, tombstones, statues, light standards, and copper wire. Residents who provide information leading to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of suspects responsible for such crimes can receive rewards.
