More than $40,000 worth of copper wire was stolen from an Ontario construction yard, police say.

A “substantial quantity” of copper wire was removed from heavy machinery, including multiple rock crushers and conveyors that were stored in the rear of a construction yard in Temiskaming Shores, about 500 kilometres north of Toronto, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said in a July 17 social media post.
