Police say someone took more than 7,000 pounds of steel from the DS Machine Shop in Leacock Township during the past week. The 216 sheets were valued at more than $16,000.
Trooper Blain Hertzog says new and used copper is frequently reported stolen, but this was new product stored outside a business, but the metal had not been locked up.
Hertzog says the price for such products is high.
