Police: Men Smuggle Copper from Home Depot in Rubbermaid Container
The men paid for the container — but not the $1,000 worth of copper inside, police said.
Two men were charged with retail theft after attempting to steal more than $1,000 worth of copper pieces from the 75th Street in Darien on Sept. 6, said.
Security saw Tadd H. Green, 27, of the 3100 block of Whispering Oaks, Woodridge, and Matthew S. Urbana, 24, of the 600 block of Kensington Way, Bolingbrook, take the copper from cardboard boxes and put it in a Rubbermaid container, police said.
The men then paid only for the container and left the store before being arrested by Darien police about 10:25 a.m., according to the report.
