Copper is no longer the only metal being stolen. Manhole covers & storm grates are also being stolen off the streets of Mesa. This creates a dangerous situation for vehicles & bicycles who drive on our streets.
If you have any information on this type of theft, or if you see anyone other than work crews in a marked City of Mesa vehicle attempting to remove any of these items, or know of anyone processing or selling these or other suspicious metal, please call the Mesa Police Department at (480) 644-2211.
