Macon churches hit by string of copper thefts
Original: 'We're still skeptical' | Macon churches hit by copper thieves in recent string of thefts
Several churches in Macon, Georgia, have been targeted by copper thieves in a recent wave of thefts, with criminals stripping wiring and metal from church properties. Church leaders say they remain skeptical about the situation even as they deal with the damage, and the thefts add to repair costs for congregations already stretched thin.
Why now: A string of thefts targeting multiple churches in one city is unusual and raises community concern about crime and house-of-worship safety.
