MERRILL, WI (WSAU) — A Wisconsin Public Service worker says someone attempted to steal electrical wiring that had recently been installed in Lincoln County last week.
The incident occurred on Monday when workers found their worksite damaged after it appears someone attempted to pull the wiring up with a chain.
The attempted theft caused an estimated $4,000 worth of damage at the site including damage to a transformer.
It doesn’t appear the would-be thieves made off with any of the wirings. No further information about the case was released, and it’s unclear if there are any suspects.
