Three people were recently arrested in connection with the theft of over 150 pounds of copper wire, according to a news release from Fort Worth police. Officers responded to a suspicious person call in the 2900 block of Shamrock Avenuve on Jan. 20, where it was reported that three people appeared to remove copper cable from a building.

Lake Worth's police chief is getting credit for this arrest. He saw three suspicious people as he was leaving the gym after a workout and immediately called police.

When Fort Worth City Council member Gyna Bivens started receiving complaints from residents about extended cable outages in their neighborhoods, she knew she could get answers.

Three people have been arrested for allegedly stealing nearly $700 worth of copper wire cables in Fort Worth, police said.
