Copper Thieves Hitting Cell Towers

Thieves after copper wiring have found a new target. Des Moines Police tell KCCI they're hitting cell towers. Two towers on East Douglas were stripped of their copper early yesterday, and it happened at another tower on County LIne Road a couple of weeks ago. Scrap dealers say copper's now selling for $3 and $4 per pound, and they have no way to know if what they're buying was stolen.
