Security officers watched two men enter an under-construction warehouse and attempt to steal a spool of copper that was valued at $12,000, according to court papers.
The two men were being assisted by a third in trying to load the industrial sized spool into the bed of a green Ford Ranger, but officers arrived in the middle of the load, police said.
