Thieves took copper tubing from the construction site of the new gym at Berea Community School. That's in Madison County.

Police say it was worth about $25,000.

Police say the thieves stole the copper by cutting locks off a construction trailer.

So far, no arrests in the case.

The police are too busy making sure that the fine people of Berea are not exposed to breast feeding women.

Your right Robert... all the fat overweight cops do in all of Madison County is eat food and flirt with trailer trash at gas stations at 2AM

Rather sit at gas stations and flirt with cashiers. Say what you want stop in there on any given night.
