London man charged for copper thefts
A London man has been charged after multiple copper thefts occurred in the downtown.
The 42-year-old man was responsible for three thefts from various locations between November 2024 and March 2025, reported by London Hydro.
Video surveillance showed the same male for each theft.
He's been charged with three counts of break, enter and theft, three counts of possession of break in instruments, mischief under $5,000, theft under $5,000 and trafficking in property obtained by crime.
On July 8, the accused is scheduled to appear in court in relation to the charges.
'Theft not only increases costs but more importantly, poses significant safety risks,' said Chief Executive Officer of London Hydro, Ysni Semsedini in a statement.
