Metro investigators believe that at about 10:35 p.m. on Aug. 25, thieves breached a locked fence at Southern Metals Recycling on the 2800 block of Tremont Road, entered the building, and made off with roughly $6,000 of bare bright metal wiring stored inside.
The next day, Metro responded to reports of a man attempting to sell the stolen scrap metal back to the company. The suspect ran when approached by a Metro patrol officer, resulting in a foot chase and arrest of 24-year-old Devon Washington of a Franklin Street address, in a wooded area near 48th and Edwin streets.
