RCMP seek Fort Macleod copper wire thieves

FORT MACLEOD – More than $15,000 worth of copper wire from heavy duty machinery has been taken from a Fort Macleod business, and RCMP are asking local scap metal dealers or even those on social media to contact them if they see or know of something suspicious.
