  • Copper theft in Port Moody

Police in Port Moody are investigating after thieves made off with telephone wire from a pole.

Police say the theft happened on January 13th, when officers were called to an area near Ioco Road and First Avenue at around 4 a.m.

Investigators say they have already identified two people of interest in the case.

Residents are asked to be vigilant and report possible wire thefts when they see suspicious activity, as there was a rash of similar cases in the spring of 2024.
