$1,800 worth of copper wire reported stolen

POST FALLS, Idaho (AP) - A manager at an asphalt company in Post Falls has reported the theft of $1,800 worth of copper wire.

The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office reports Poe Asphalt had contracted another company to bring in a transformer trailer for a crushing job in a gravel pit near its offices.
