More Copper Stolen from Another Cell Tower

Police are investigating a second incident of copper being stolen from another Verizon wireless cell tower.

When Parsippany police Officer Robert Appel got to the tower on Route 10, an employee told him that a copper ground bar and five ground cables were stolen—a total value of $1,200, according to a release from Officer Remo D’Alessandro, community relations officer.

Last week, police responded to a Verizon cell tower on Parsippany Boulevard where $800 worth of copper was stolen.

Police said the theft at the Route 10 tower occurred sometime between Sept. 23 and Oct. 24 and like the other copper theft, there were no signs of forced entry.

Anyone with information regarding the incident or may have witnessed suspicious activity in the area should contact the Parsippany Police Investigative Division at 973-263-4311 or email Crime_Tips@parpolice.com.
