Con Edison Launches Program To Combat Copper Theft

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Con Edison has launched a program aimed at deterring copper wire thefts and protecting its equipment.

The utility is spraying identifying markings on copper and equipment that’s invisible to the naked eye but visible with a ultraviolet light.

The program allows police to identify who stole a piece of metal and from where.

Copper is used in Con Edison’s electrical delivery system. Thieves often sell the copper to scrapyards for cash.
