The Sheriff’s Office was dispatched early yesterday afternoon to investigate a theft of copper from a cell tower site. Deputy Yarbrough spoke with a Columbia man about the theft from a cell tower on Shady Grove Church Road near Joanna, which had apparently occurred over the past 30 days. The man said that 7 ground wires and some copper plates had been cut and that the fence around the tower had also been cut. Metals valued at $2,000 were taken.
