Man Arrested for Stealing $200,000 in Metal
A man, 46-years-old, was arrested by Chicago police in connection with multiple thefts of metal totalling more than $200,000 in total value.
An investigation into the case was launched after a business reported the theft of 300 panels of aluminum. It was alleged that the man had sold several identical panels of aluminum to a scrap metal business, leading to his arrest. The man is a suspect in multiple other theft investigations around the city.
