The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department has confirmed to me that they are indeed investigating a copper wire theft that allegedly took place in rural Arlington some time between Dec. 22 and 29.

But Rebecca Hover, the department’s spokeswoman, said Monday, Jan. 11, that she did not have any additional details on the theft.

Authorities are continuing to investigate case, and residents with any information are being encourage to call 425-388-3845.

The Bonneville Power Administration issued a press release Dec. 30 about the theft, in which more than 30 feet of copper wire was stolen from a substation at the 17400 block of Burn Road.

The original story on the case can be found here.
