Thieves steal copper from MISD softball light poles
Mineola ISD police are seeking information on the theft of copper wiring from at least three of the softball field light poles at Mineola High School.
MISD Police Chief Cody Castleberry said the theft was discovered late last week when coaches noticed wires hanging from the metal access plates on the bottom of the light poles.
It is thought the lights were last used on Feb. 4, and several rain events since then have negated any possibility of finding footprints or fingerprints.
Castleberry said he is getting estimates for the amount of wire taken and its value.
He is also talking to area law enforcement agencies and electric companies to see if any similar thefts have been reported recently.
He said the school district does not have any good security camera angles for the area in question to identify possible suspects.
