Copper Cable Theft Threatens Emergency Services

0:00Ontario Provincial Police are digging into a bull theft of copper cables along Highway 7 in Guelph, Aremosa Township. These hit a wooded spot near Wellington Road 44 and Alma Street early Monday around 4am, snatching about 100 meters worth 5,000 to $10,000.
