Laurens Police were dispatched to the Public Square at 9:29 yesterday morning, where someone had apparently attempted to steal the electric meter off of City Hall. An officer found the mater box had been tampered with, but the meter was not stolen. The meter was pushed back in place to restore power to City Hall and the CPW was called to the scene. There had reportedly been a power outage in the building yesterday afternoon and it was suspected that this was when the damage occurred to the power meter.
